Question

1. choose the best answer.

when rocks are moved away from a place,____has occurred.
deposition
erosion
weathering
superposition

Explanation:

• Deposition: It is the process of sediments being laid down, not the movement of rocks away.
• Erosion: This is the process where rocks (and sediments) are moved away from a place by agents like water, wind, ice.
• Weathering: It is the breaking - down of rocks in place (either physically or chemically), not the movement.
• Superposition: It is a principle in geology about the order of rock layers (younger layers on top of older ones), not related to rock movement.

Answer:

erosion
