The question is <u>incomplete,</u> options are given below:

A. A tropical area with moderate rainfall

B. A temperate forest

C. A steep slope

D. A river delta

Answer:

<em>C.</em><em> A steep slope</em>

Explanation:

Erosion is a <u>weathering process</u> that causes removal of the top layer of sediments from any geological material (rock, plain area, etc) and then transports that material to another place. This process is governed by the combined action of wind, water (precipitation), gravity, and other meteorological parameters.

For this question, four options are given among which rate of erosion would be faster than the rate of soil formation for a steep slope. For a steep slope, the movement of water and wind would be stronger along with high gravitational pull as compared to the tropical area, river delta, and temperate forest. In principle, in the temperate forest, the erosion would be lowest due to the presence of plant roots that support the soil material to stay aggregated and resist against weathering.

2. A common misconception is that Homosapiens are descendants of Apes.

4. vestigial structures are structures that have no apparent function and appear to be residual parts from a past ancestor, such as wings of flightless birds.

5. Embryology supports the theory that organisms have a common ancestor in accordance to the theory of evolution.
