Explanation:

Throughout accounting, amortization applies to multiple-period distribution of revenues. The concept is used for two isolated processes: loan amortization and asset amortization. Depreciation is the reduction in asset value and the process used to redeploy or "write down" a tangible asset's expense (like equipment) over its expected life period.

Depletion is a term of accounting and taxation generally used in coal, forestry, petroleum, or other related industries. Depletion is identical to depreciation in that it is an accounting and tax tracking system for cost recovery.
