Question

a destructive force destroys, or breaks down, a landform. some examples of destructive forces are: weathering, erosion, earthquakes, land slides, volcanic eruptions, and floods. weathering occurs when rocks are broken down by wind, water, ice, acid, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature. this picture shows a sandstone arch found in colorado. study the picture. what processes have taken place to form the arch?

Explanation:

To form the sandstone arch, weathering (from wind, water, etc.) breaks down the rock, and erosion (by wind carrying sediment) removes material. Over time, these destructive processes shape the arch by wearing away the rock, leaving the arch structure.

Answer:

First, weathering (from wind, water, ice, etc.) breaks down the sandstone rock. Then, erosion (by wind carrying sediment) removes the weathered material. Over time, these processes (weathering and erosion) shape the sandstone into an arch by wearing away the rock, leaving the arch - like structure.
