Question

1. what are natural causes of erosion? select all that apply.

temperature
wind
glaciers
water

Explanation:

• Wind: Wind can carry particles and erode surfaces over time, like in desert areas where wind erosion shapes landscapes.
• Glaciers: Glaciers move and carry rocks, soil, etc., eroding the land beneath and around them as they advance or retreat.
• Water: Water (from rain, rivers, oceans) causes erosion through processes like abrasion, corrosion, and transportation of sediments.
• Temperature: Temperature changes (freeze - thaw cycles) can cause physical weathering, which contributes to erosion by breaking down rocks, making them more susceptible to being eroded by other agents.

Answer:

• wind (checked)
• glaciers (checked)
• water (checked)
• temperature (checked)
