What is erosion?

• The process by which soil and rock are removed from the Earth's surface by natural processes such as wind or water.

• The accumulation of soil and rock in a specific area due to natural processes.

• The transformation of soil into rock through chemical processes.

• The movement of soil and rock from one location to another without any loss.

What is an island?

• A piece of land surrounded by water on all sides.

• A large body of water surrounded by land.

• A type of tree found near the coast.

• A geographical area with no water at all.

What is deposition?

• The process in which sediment is laid down in new locations, forming new landforms.

• The process of eroding landforms through wind and water.

• The process of transporting sediment from one location to another.

What is a glacier?

• A large mass of ice that moves slowly over land, shaping the landscape through erosion and deposition.

• A small body of water surrounded by land.

• A type of rock formation found in mountains.

• A weather phenomenon characterized by heavy rainfall.

What are destructive processes?

• Natural processes that build up landforms, such as deposition.

• Natural processes that wear down landforms, such as erosion.

• Human activities that alter landforms, such as construction.
