Question
2 which natural forces can create sediments? a wind and ice b moving air, moving water, and moving ice c water and ice d sunlight
Sediments are created by the processes of weathering and erosion. Moving air (wind), moving water (rivers, waves, etc.), and moving ice (glaciers) are all agents of erosion that can break down rocks and transport sediments. Wind can carry and deposit fine - grained sediments. Moving water can erode rocks through processes like abrasion and carry sediments of various sizes. Glaciers can pluck and abrade rocks, creating sediments as they move. Sunlight is not a direct natural force for creating sediments. Options A and C are too limited as they don't include all the major agents (A misses water, C misses wind).
