I agree.
It is b
Your answer is correct. Erosion and weathering are examples of destructive forces.
To check your answer, we need to understand the definitions of erosion and weathering and then determine which category they belong to.
Weathering refers to the breakdown and alteration of rocks and minerals at or near the Earth's surface. It occurs through various processes like mechanical weathering (e.g., freeze-thaw cycles, abrasion) and chemical weathering (e.g., oxidation, hydrolysis). These processes weaken and break down rocks into smaller pieces.
Erosion, on the other hand, refers to the movement and transportation of those weathered materials (rock fragments, minerals, soil, etc.) by agents such as water, wind, ice, or gravity. It involves the removal and transportation of these materials from one place to another, resulting in the reshaping of the Earth's surface.
Considering these definitions, we can conclude that erosion and weathering are examples of destructive forces (Choice B). These forces lead to the wearing away, breaking down, and removal of the Earth's materials, altering landscapes over time.
