Question

Which of the following is the best example of erosion?

a Sediment piling up at the mouth of a river

b Plant roots growing through concrete and splitting it

c Waves carrying sand away from a beach

d A large rock splitting into pieces because of ice

Answer 1

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember erosion is the process of moving sediments to one location to another. In this case waves moving sand away from the beach and to another location is erosion which means your answer is option C. It's not option B because plant roots breaking apart concert is a example of weathering, and the same goes for option D.
