A
They can cause rocks to weather.
B
They can cause the rock cycle to stop.
C
They can cause volcanoes to erupt.
D
They can cause metamorphic rocks to form.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Erosion is the process where rocks are broken down by natural forces such as wind or water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and mineral away. No rock on Earth is hard enough to resist the forces of weathering and erosion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Weathering can be caused by wind, water, ice, plants, gravity, and changes in temperature. To better understand how the erosion and weathering process works….

Detailed explanation-4: -Climate variables including temperature, rainfall intensity, rainfall acidity, and lithological properties are among the most important factors affecting rock weathering.

Detailed explanation-5: -Water. Water is the most common cause of soil erosion. Wind. Wind can also make soil erode by displacing it. Ice. We don’t get much ice here in Lawrenceville, GA, but for those that do, the concept is the same as water. Gravity. Gravity is a primary culprit behind the three other causes. 10-Dec-2020
