Once rocks and minerals are broken down into smaller pieces, the particles of the rocks are taken away by water, wind and ice in a process called erosion

Rocks can be affected by weathering by temperature changes, wind, the action of water and ice and living plants. Rocks do not last forever because weathering brakes them down into smaller pieces

Once the weathered rocks and minerals are carried off by erosion, sedimentation occurs, otherwise known as deposition. This is what happens when weathered rocks are deposited into eg; The bottom of a lake and stacked on topped other dead plant and soil matter to carry out the process of sedimentation.
