Weathering is any chemical or physical weathering process that breaks down rocks.

Chemical weathering changes the composition, or chemical makeup of rocks.

Erosion is the removal of weathered material from one location to another

Erosion involves both the wearing away of land forms and the transportation of sediment.

Deposition is the laying down or settling of eroded material.

Deposition takes place after weathering breaks the rocks then erosion sweeps the rocks away moving it.

As water and wind slow down, they have less energy and can hold less sediment. Some of the sediment they carry is then laid down, or deposited.

An example of erosion is when sand or small rocks gets picked up by the tide, the tide starts to move it to a new location till it doesn't have any more energy.
