- Weathering: A rock frozen in a glacier is slowly carried away.
- Erosion: Sediment forms a small island at the mouth of a river.
- Deposition: Mud falls down a mountainside.
- Weathering: Rocks break from the growing roots of a tree.
- Weathering: Waves crash against a rock wall and move loose particles away.
- Erosion: Sediment moved to a new location due to flood waters.
- Weathering: Acid rain dissolves limestone.
- Erosion: Wind carries particles of sand across a desert.
- Weathering: Water between cracks in a rock, freezes and expands, making the cracks larger.
- Deposition: Sand dunes get larger as the wind drops more and more sand.
- Erosion: Water carries away soil from the riverbank.
- Deposition: Soil from a landslide piles up at the base of the mountain.
- Erosion: Wind carves arches in rock formations.
- Weathering: Rocks trapped in glaciers scrape against other rocks.
- Deposition: Waves drop sand on a beach.
