Answer 1

d. all of the above
----------------------------------------------------------------------
weathering is a process by which the rocks are brocken down into smaller rocks or sand particles

climate
---------------
Climate helps in weathering of rocks because as there will be changes in climate like heavy rain in winter , hot weather conditions in summer and cold in winter makes the rocks undergo vigorous change in climatic conditions which will change the nature of the rock which results in weathering

water
--------------
as the water flows with very high force it helps in the breaking down of rocks and if there is any crack in the rock it will enter through and break it further more resulting in pieces of rocks

elevation
------------------------
rocks at higher elevations, are exposed to more wind, rain, and ice and weathering rate also increases and is more than that of in the lower elevation region
