Which one is NOT an accurate description of the process of erosion?
moving bits of rock and soil across the earth's surface by water, wind, or glaciers
water moving sediment down a river
breaking rocks into smaller pieces
O wind and water moving sand to form coastlines



Answer :

One of the options that is NOT an accurate description of the process of erosion is: O wind and water moving sand to form coastlines. Explanation: 1. Erosion involves the movement of rock and soil particles from one place to another through natural forces like water, wind, or glaciers. 2. Water moving sediment down a river is a form of erosion where water carries particles of sediment downstream, gradually wearing away rocks and landscapes. 3. Breaking rocks into smaller pieces is a process known as mechanical weathering, not erosion. Mechanical weathering involves physical processes like freezing and thawing that break down rocks into smaller fragments. 4. Wind and water moving sand to form coastlines actually represents the process of deposition, not erosion. Deposition occurs when eroded materials are dropped or deposited in a new location, contributing to the formation of features like coastlines. Therefore, the statement "O wind and water moving sand to form coastlines" is not an accurate description of erosion but rather pertains to the process of deposition in the geological cycle.
