Question
in the image, what is the most likely force of erosion that moved this boulder and finally deposited it on this mountain? humans glaciers running water wind
The boulder is a glacial erratic: a large rock transported and deposited by a moving glacier. Glaciers can carry massive boulders over long distances and deposit them in mountainous areas as the ice melts. Humans would not move such large boulders to this location naturally, running water would not deposit large boulders on this flat mountain surface, and wind lacks the force to move rocks of this size.
