A
Erosion
B
Faulting
C
Deposition
D
Folding
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water. A similar process, weathering, breaks down or dissolves rock, but does not involve movement.

Detailed explanation-2: -The whole process of land formation is called EROSION. Erosion is the wearing away of the Earth’s surface by the act of natural forces.

Detailed explanation-3: -The key to erosion is something called “fluid flow.” Water, air, and even ice are fluids because they tend to flow from one place to another due to the force of gravity. Of the three, liquid water is the most common agent of erosion because there’s so much of it on the surface of the Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Erosion is a natural process which is usually made by rock and soil being loosened from the earth’s surface at one location and moved to another.

Detailed explanation-5: -When the Earth’s surface is worn away by wind or water, it’s called erosion.
