Erosion occurs when wind or water moves over sediment, soil, or rocks.
C
Physical and chemical are the two types of erosion.
D
Movement is not required for erosion to take place.

Explanation

Erosion is the movement of weathered material from one place to another, often by wind or water. Therefore, the statement that wind or water moves over sediment, soil, or rocks describes erosion. Drastic temperature changes cause weathering, while physical and chemical are types of weathering, not erosion.
