Explanation:

1. El desgaste de rocas en trozos más pequeños es la meteorización.
2. El transporte de sedimentos, suelo y roca a otro lugar es la erosión.
3. La deposición de sedimentos, suelo y roca sobre la tierra es la deposición.
4. El agua y la gravedad pueden causar erosión.
5. La acumulación de arena en una duna es un ejemplo de deposición.
6. Las abejas que excavan en la roca son un ejemplo de meteorización mecánica.
7. La glacier que recoge rocas es un ejemplo de erosión.
8. Los deslaves de tierra son un ejemplo de erosión.
9. El cambio de temperatura que causa la expansión y contracción de rocas es un ejemplo de meteorización mecánica.
10. La lluvia ácida que afecta una estatua es un ejemplo de meteorización química.
11. La erosión no siempre es un proceso lento, por ejemplo, los deslaves de tierra son rápidos.
12. El agua y el viento pueden cambiar la forma de una montaña, lo cual es cierto.
