False. The most important agent of chemical weathering is water, through processes such as hydration, dissolution, and oxidation. Abrasion is a physical weathering process caused by friction and impacts between rock surfaces.
False. More runoff can actually lead to more erosion, as the increased water flow can carry away soil particles and contribute to erosion.
False. Forces such as weathering and erosion that wear away high points and flatten out the Earth's surface are called destructive forces, not constructive. Constructive forces include processes like volcanism and plate tectonics that build up the Earth's surface.
False. The process that lays down sediment in a new location is deposition, not erosion. Erosion is the process of wearing away and removing sediment from a location.
True. Glaciers erode the base of mountains into basins called cirques through a process known as glacial erosion. This results in the formation of amphitheater-like depressions at the base of mountains.
False
True. Running water is a significant agent of erosion that exerts a downward force on slopes through the process of erosion and transportation of sediment. This process contributes to the reshaping of landscapes over time.
To create a false story about another person and spread it by speech is called slander; to do so in writing is called libel.
False. Erosion control should begin before the first evidence of erosion. When building bridges over waterways, construction contractors are already devising ways to control erosion so the bridge does not fall into the water later on.
True
The process by which natural forces move weathered rock and soil form one place to another is called (EROSION)

True: Stressors is any agent that causes stress to an organism
