Weathering, Erosion, Deposition Spiral Review

Bartlett City workers plant trees and shrubs on the sides of very steep hills in our city. Which statement best explains the reason for this?

• Sheep, goats, and other animals like to graze on plants growing on hillsides.

• Trees and shrubs on a hillside are not harmed by weed killers.

Select the 3 best examples of causes of erosion.

• moving water
• animal behaviors
• wind
• sunlight
• photosynthesis
