Question

Sediment is transported through various mechanisms. Match the correct form of transportation to its mechanism. This mechanism causes rivers to meander, or curve. Tides and currents from this mechanism will transfer sediments to beaches across the world. This mechanism causes mass wasting and landslides. These slow- moving, frozen bodies transfer large boulders and sediment to areas quite far from their original locations. Lack of vegetation means that this mechanism will become the dominant force for erosion and deposition.

Answer 1

Answer:

This mechanism causes rivers to meander, or curve. ----- water

Tides and currents from this mechanism will transfer sediments to beaches across the world. ------- waves

This mechanism causes mass wasting and landslides. ------ gravity

These slow- moving, frozen bodies transfer large boulders and sediment to areas quite far from their original locations.------- glaciers

Lack of vegetation means that this mechanism will become the dominant force for erosion and deposition.------- wind

Explanation:

Waves are responsible for the displacement and transportation of sediments in the world. The landslides occurs due to the gravitational force of earth. The big mass bodies on the sloppy areas comes to lower regions due to gravity. On the barren land, there is high chances of erosion due to wind due to no vegetative cover. These winds also carry sediments from one place to another.
