dust and sand are blowing in the air during a windstorm.
weathering
erosion
deposition

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each term:

• Weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces (not movement of particles).
• Erosion is the transportation of sediment (like dust, sand) by agents like wind. During a windstorm, wind carrying dust and sand is erosion.
• Deposition is when sediment is dropped (not being blown around).

Answer:

B. erosion
