Answer 1

Hey dear here is your answer!!!!!

___________________________

Firstly, let's see what factors affect weathering and erosion:-

1. Wind

2. Sunlight

3. Water

Weathering and Erosion naturally takes place by three of them. This is how it works:-

1. Wind - Being constantly hit by the wind, rocks end up losing tiny fragments and get eroded by the wind or wind simply blows away the soil.

2. Water - Water flow can cause any rock to  be eroded with time and water often takes away soil with it. Sometimes, water enters crevices in rocks and freezes causing rocks to crack.

3. Sunlight - Un-even heating of rock weakens them and erodes them down.

Now, these processes take place naturally all the time for periods of millions of years. They are so slow that they are in-noticeable.

Therefore, the word "Very Slowly" best describes the rate at which weathering and erosion takes place.

Option B) Very Slowly is correct !
