• B. Erosion, weathering, transportation
• C. Erosion, transportation,weathering
• D. Deposition, weathering, erosin

Answer 1

The correct option is A Weathering, erosion, transportation

When rocks are exposed to wind, rain, heat and frost, they break apart and crumble to form fine particles over a period of time. This process of breaking rocks is known as weathering. The broken pieces of rocks are carried away by wind, glaciers and rivers. This process is called as erosion. The eroded material is finally deposited as pebbles, sand or mud. Therefore, the sequence of processes is: weathering, erosion, deposition.
