D.


water moving over the earth's surface and into the atmosphere

Answer 1

An accurate description of erosion would be C. moving bits of rock and soil across the earth's surface by water, wind, or glaciers.

Erosion occurs over time when the Earth's surface begins to get worn down resulting in things like valleys, mud after a rainstorm, and rocks located on the bottom of a body of water.

Due to the force of gravity water easily flows from one place to another, which is why erosion occurs.

The accurate description of the process of erosion is when moving bits of rock and soil across the earth’s surface by water, wind, or glaciers. The answer is letter C.
