Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller particles, which are then transported by erosion. Erosion occurs when wind, water, or ice move these smaller particles. Transport involves the movement of these particles from one place to another, and eventually the particles settle and are deposited in a new location. Therefore, the correct sequence is weathering, erosion, transport, and deposition, which is only found in option D.
