Erosion, transportation and deposition are factors of _________.
Erosion, transportation and deposition are factors of _________.
The correct option is C Both a and b
Erosion is the action of surface
processes that remove soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on
the Earth's crust, and then transport it away to another location. The
particulate breakdown of rock or soil into clastic sediment is referred to as
physical or mechanical erosion; this contrasts with chemical erosion, where
soil or rock material is removed from an area by its dissolving into a solvent,
followed by the flow away of that solution. Eroded sediment or solutes may be
transported just a few millimeters, or for thousands of kilometers.
Natural rates of erosion are
controlled by the action of geomorphic drivers, such as rainfall or bedrock
wear in rivers or coastal erosion by the sea and waves or glacial plucking,
abrasion, and scour; areal flooding; wind abrasion; groundwater processes; and
mass movement processes in steep landscapes like landslides and debris flows.
