hello there

Step-by-step explanation:

Weathering is when rock (generally) or material is worn away via the Earth's atmosphere, the sun, water, or other natural elements. This is considered destructive.

Erosion is when water (usually rivers or rain) carries rock away from its original place or recently deposited position. This is considered destructive.

Deposition is when the rock that has been eroded away is deposited into a new place. This is considered contructive.
