Answer:

The correct answer is erosion

Explanation:

  • Magmatism refers to the positioning of magma on the outer surface and within the layers of a terrestrial planet which on cooling solidifies into igneous rocks.
  • Mechanical weathering is the process of breaking of big rocks into tiny or smaller pieces. It is basically a process of conversion of big rocks into sediments thus leading to the formation of soil.
  • Chemical Weathering is the process of breaking down of big rocks into tiny pieces by chemical reactions instead of mechanical processes.
  • Erosion is the process of removal of soil, sediments and dissolved substance from one location and transporting it to another location on earth crust.
  • Metamorphism is the process of change in the structure or com[position of a rock by the action of pressure, temperature or other natural forces.
