b. Mountain and Plateau

Answers
Answer:
Erosion is the process by which natural forces move weathered rock and soil from one place to another. ... Deposition occurs when the agents (wind or water) of erosion lay down sediment. Deposition changes the shape of the land. Erosion, weathering, and deposition are at work everywhere on Earth.

Explanation:
EROSION
Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water. ... Most erosion is performed by liquid water, wind, or ice (usually in the form of a glacier). If the wind is dusty, or water or glacial ice is muddy, erosion is taking place.
DEPOSITION
Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or landmass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.

MOUNTAIN
A mountain is a large natural rise of the Earth's surface that usually has a "summit" (the name for a mountain's top, which can also be called a peak). It is usually steeper and taller than a hill. Mountains are often thought of as being a hill which is larger than 600 metres (about 2,000 feet).
PLATEAU
A plateau is a flat, elevated landform that rises sharply above the surrounding area on at least one side. Plateaus occur on every continent and take up a third of the Earths land. They are one of the four major landforms, along with mountains, plains, and hills.
