• False

• True

            In which environment would well-sorted sediment be present?

• Mountainous regions
• Desert landscapes

Which factor is NOT an agent of weathering?

• wind

• plants

• sediment

What does erosion do to landforms and to sediment?

• Erosion creates new landforms without affecting sediment.
• Erosion only affects sediment without changing landforms.
• Erosion reshapes landforms and transports sediment, leading to changes in landscape and sediment distribution.
