As waves crash into rock along the shoreline, particles of sand, shell, and other materials in the ocean water loosen tiny bits of sediment from the rock. As the waves recede, they carry the sediment away. In this scenario, which process represents weathering, and which process represents erosion?

WEATHERING is represented by the scenario (As waves crash into rock along the shoreline, particles of sand, shell, and other materials in the ocean water loosen tiny bits of sediment from the rock).

Erosion is represented by the scenario (As the waves recede, they carry the sediment away).

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance which travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another. When wind blows over a water body like the ocean, ocean waves are formed. As the generated energy from the wind is transported through the water by the waves, the can hit against rocks on the shores leading to its break down with time. WEATHERING occurs when tiny bit of sediments from rocks are loosened due to the impact of ocean waves.

Erosion can be described as the wearing away of the earth's surface due to the impact of wind, rainfall ( water) or waves. There are different types of erosion which is classified according it's cause of formation.

Wave erosion occurs when sediments such as sand, shell and other materials are carried to the shoreline by ocean waves. This erodes the shore over time as the sediments act like sandpapers.

the answer is 12 as i may remember
