Weathering is the breaking of rocks.

• True

• False

___ is the type of Erosion caused by water that occurs when larger-sized particles roll or are dragged along the riverbed.

• Saltation

• Traction

• Suspension

• Solution

It is the removal of sediments due to the sheer power of the ocean's waves.
