weathering, erosion, and deposition act together in a cycle. weathering □ sediment, while
erosion □ the sediment to new places, and deposition □ the earth by placing those
materials in new locations.
weathering breaks down rocks and minerals. this can be physical through wind, water, ice, or living things
or it can be chemical when the materials react with water, air, or acids. the materials broken down are
called sediment.
options: volcanic islands, destroys, unearths, moves, builds up, barrier islands, keeps, creates

Explanation:

1. For the first blank (Weathering ____ sediment): Weathering breaks down rocks to create sediment, so "creates" fits.
2. For the second blank (erosion ____ the sediment to new places): Erosion is the process of moving sediment, so "moves" is correct.
3. For the third blank (deposition ____ the Earth by placing those materials in new locations): Deposition builds up the Earth's surface with sediment, so "builds up" is appropriate.

Answer:

First blank: creates
Second blank: moves
Third blank: builds up
