Recovery
A big wind storm puts down or
'deposits' soil in your backyard.
Which of the following is the
BEST description of this process?
A. Deposition - sediment is set down in a new
place
B. Weathering - rock is broken down into
sediment
C. Precipitation - any form of water that falls
from the sky
D. Rock cycle - rock is formed and changed

Respuesta :

In your backyard, the soil is "deposited" by a strong cyclone. It is a representation of deposition, which is the setting down of sediment in a new location.

Discussion about the choices:

  • A deposition is an act of depositing silt that has been transported by the wind, water, sea, or ice. Pebbles, sand, mud, and salts that have been dissolved in water can all be used to convey sediment.
  • The breakdown or dissolution of minerals and geological formations on the surface of the Earth is known as weathering. When a stone has disintegrated, the minerals and rock fragments are carried away by a process known as erosion.
  • Any liquid or frozen water that condenses in the environment and falls back to Earth is referred to as precipitation. Rainfall, ice, and frost are only a few of its various manifestations. Precipitation is one of the three main components of the global water cycle, together with evaporation and condensation.
  • The changes between the three main kinds of rocks—sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous—over time are described by the geology concept known as the rock cycle.

Therefore from the above discussion, it is concluded that the questioned statement is best matched with the "deposition" process, option A.
