Answer 2

The wearing away of the earth’s surface is called "erosion". (Option -C)

• The entire surface of the earth is divided or stratified into several layers.
• The top-most layer of the earth's surface is also called "topsoil".
• This layer is rich in fine and loosely bound soil particles and deals with the vegetation cover of the earth.
• As the soil particles are extremely small and loosely bound, they are highly prone to get regularly weathered and get displaced from one place to another. This is the phenomenon of erosion.
• Several agents like wind, flowing water, human activities, rains, etc, cause the erosion of the earth's top surface.
• Thus, erosion is the correct answer to this question.
