D. rainfall and ocean waves

Answer 1

D. It’s rainfall and ocean waves

Answer 2

The correct answer is D) rainfall and ocean waves.

What caused the change from figure 1 to figure 2 is rainfall and ocean waves.

Both rainfall and ocean waves produced the erosion of the rocks. Through time, the force of the water and the force of the wind produce erosion. Water, ice, and wind are the forces of nature that produced erosion. In this case, ocean waves produce erosion throughout many years. That is how mountains get their particular formations.
