Answer 1

1:Erosion happens when rocks and sediments are picked up and moved to another place by ice, water, wind or gravity. ... Over time pieces of rock can split off a rock face and big boulders are broken into smaller rocks and gravel.

2:DECOMPOSERS. Many of the millions of organisms that live in the soil, including bacteria, fungi, insects, and earthworms, are known as decomposers. They live on the remains of dead plants and animals and break down these organic remains into simple chemicals that are released into the soil.

3:Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering.
