Which of the following is an example of natural erosion?

Answer
A
ice forming in cracks of rocks
B
acid rain falling on sidewalks
C
waves washing over rocks on the beach
D
water washing away soil in an area used by off-road vehicles

Explanation

Erosion is the movement of rock or soil from one place to another. Waves naturally move and wear away material along a beach, so “waves washing over rocks on the beach” is natural erosion. Ice forming in cracks and acid rain mainly cause weathering, while off-road vehicles make the soil erosion human-caused.
