SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Wind carries sand and forms a sand dune. Layers of sand form at the bottom of an ocean. A glacier transports rock and debris that build up to form a moraine. A fast flowing mountain river carries silt and sand downhill.

Detailed explanation-2: -Weathering happens at different rates. Sand on the beach is created from ocean waves pounding on rocks and eventually creating sand. Sometimes erosion can happen very quickly like with mudslides. Mudslides are caused by moving water and gravity, and happen in only minutes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mechanical weathering includes processes such as water in cracks freezing and expanding, or changes in temperature that expand and shrink individual minerals enough to break them apart.

Detailed explanation-4: -Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the Earth’s surface, erosion is the transportation or the movement of the weathered material and deposition is the dropping of off the weathered material.
