Answer:

Answer is explained below in the explanation section.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this whole planet, there are three main determinants which determine the shape, topography and soil features on the surface of Earth. Which are as follows:

1. Weathering

2. Erosion

3. Deposition

All three processes occur simultaneously irrespective of any dependence. In addition, due to weathering, erosion and deposition together affects the land and particular supportive ecosystem.

Likewise in Texas, due to these processes, it has form ten different landforms or eco-regions.

For instance, take weathering into account and its effect on ecoregions of Texas.

In summer, we have hot weather, it means precipitation of water or transition of wet to dry. Windy weather accompanied with erosion cut the mountains and rocks and builds a particular topography suitable for a particular ecosystem. Furthermore, if there are no plants or bushes and soil is exposed to water and wind then erosion is very easy to take place.

So, water, temperature, wind, rivers are extremely powerful agents for weathering , erosion and deposition.
