Question

which process involves wind moving loose sediment?
○ abrasion
○ deflation
○ impact
○ plucking

Explanation:

• Abrasion is the process of sediment wearing down surfaces, not moving loose sediment.
• Deflation is the process where wind lifts and moves loose sediment (like sand, silt) from one place to another.
• Impact is a general term and not the specific process for wind - moving sediment.
• Plucking is a glacial process, not related to wind - moving sediment.

Answer:

B. deflation
