According to the video, weathering "breaks the sediment", erosion "takes the sediment away", and deposition "drops the sediment in a new place"

According to the video, deposition is "a measurement of the sediment", erosion "the process of frezzing the sediment", and deposition is "the final temperature of the sediment"

Mr. Chavez has decided that you are the EVALUATOR. You are given the the task of evaluating which student is more correct based on your understanding of the difference between weathering and erosion. Only one student is correct, which student is it?

I am in agreement with Anayah who said,  "waethering is like a tracker. Weathering is essentially when you use satalites in space to track how clouds moves. Erosion is the program that they use to track the movement of these clouds."

I agree with Bryan who said,  "weathering is like a jacket. You like you wear it when the temperature of the atmosphere and stuff gets cold. Erosion is like a potion that you drink that makes your stronger and more resilent."

I understand and agree with Genesis who said, " Weathering is like transporting to a new universe. You use the teleporter like in Rick and Morty and that is weathering because it is based on the weather. Erosion is like generatign enough power to transport. You need to use a battery of some kind. Erosion actually facilitates the transport because you need energy if you know what I mean. 

Question 12

12.

Rain washing soil away from the P.E. field carrying it away to somewhere else

Plants grow on rocks and their roots grow into the cracks of the rock, breaking it apart. 

The ocean causes weatehring of sand on the beach, causing the beach to shrink. 

The ocean waves cause erosion of sand on the beach, causing the beach to shrink. 

Weathering is when rocks change from one type of rock to another; erosion is when rocks are broken down. 

Weathering is the breaking down of rocks by animals: erosion is the weathered materials from an area. 

Deposit means to "drop something off." 

Deposit means to "cause something to undergo tension."

I agree the most with with Alexis who said, "Weathering is like using your finger to pick a booger in your nose. The finger breaks the boogers down into smaller parts, and that's what weathering does, it breaks things down. Erosion is basically transporting something, like when you take the booger to a new place, like when you move the booger from your nose to a napkin. 

Sort the cards into weathering, erosion and deposition categories. 
Hint:
Four belong to weathering
Four belong to erosion
two belong to deposition
