Which one is an accurate description of the process of erosion?

A.

breaking rocks into smaller pieces

B.

forming rocks and depositing them in new places

C.

moving bits of rock and soil across the earth's surface by water, wind, or glaciers

D.

water moving over the earth's surface and into the atmosphere

The accurate description of the process of erosion is when moving bits of rock and soil across the earth’s surface by water, wind, or glaciers. The answer is letter C.

An accurate description of erosion would be C. moving bits of rock and soil across the earth's surface by water, wind, or glaciers.

Erosion occurs over time when the Earth's surface begins to get worn down resulting in things like valleys, mud after a rainstorm, and rocks located on the bottom of a body of water.

Due to the force of gravity water easily flows from one place to another, which is why erosion occurs.
