Answer:
d. Wind erosion alone changes the landscape of a region.
Step-by-step explanation:
Erosion, as we know, consists of the process of erosion, transport and sedimentation of rocks and, mainly, of the soil.
- Wind Erosion: As its name implies, it is the type of erosion caused by the action of winds, which slowly carve the rocks and transport the soil particles.
- Rain erosion: is the type of erosion caused by the action of rainwater. In general, any soil wear caused by precipitation can be classified as rainfall erosion, but in areas where the terrain is less protected by vegetation and other elements, the effects of water action can be most intensely felt.
- Glacial erosion: This is the type of erosion caused by the action of ice on both snow and glaciers. This is usually because temperature variations freeze and thaw water, which expands and compresses, affecting rocks and soils. Other forms of ice movement, such as avalanches, also work in this process.
