HELP IMMEDIATELY!! In which of the following scenarios do erosion and weathering both occur?

i.Water evaporating from land leaves behind salty residue.
ii.A hurricane washes large sections of a coastline out to sea.
iii.Grassland gradually turns to desert during a prolonged drought.
I only
II only

II and III only


Sagot :

Answer:

II and III only

Explanation:

Soil erosion is the washing away of the top soil by agents such as flood, wind, etc.

Weathering is the breaking down of rocks on the Earth's surface.

The scenario where erosion and weathering can both occur is when a hurricane occurs and washes a large portion of a coastline to the sea and when grassland turns to desert, thereby exposing the top soil and causing weathering to occur.
