Attrition - rocks smashing into each other and breaking down becoming smaller and smoother
Abrasion - rocks that are in the river wearing down the banks and river bed
Solution - soluble particles dissolving
Hydraulic Action - when there are cracks in the banks / cliffs, water can push air into them which creates pressure causing the cracks to get bigger
Hope this is what you wanted and I hope it helps. :)

There are four types of erosion: Attrition, Abrasion, Solution and Hydraulic action.
Hydraulic action- the force of water that wears away the river bank from underneath.
Attrition- rocks being carried by the river smash together and break into smaller pieces. Over time, they become smaller and are reduced into fine particles called slit.
Abrasion- stones that are carried by the river bump into the river bank and wear them away.
Solution- acids in the water slowly dissolve the river banks and the stones- especially limestone- that the river is carrying.

The legacy of the Mughal Empire in India is visible through which of the following?
IgorC [24]

Answer:

All of the above are correct.

Explanation:

The Mughal Empire was an empire that existed in India for several centuries. It emerged as a military power in Central Asia, but it set its eyes on India and after successive military campaigns big portion of India was conquered. The Mughals were of mixed Turkic and Mongol ancestry when they came to India, and they were also Muslim, while over time there was also gradual Persian influence.

This resulted in bringing in new cultural characteristics which resulted in some changes in India. A new type of art was introduced, the style of architecture changed, and there was a big religious influence. The legacy can be seen even nowadays, as the artistic elements that the Mughals brought in are still present, the architecture as well, with a lot of historical monuments being made by them, and a large portion of the population in the Indian subcontinent is Muslim.
