What is the rubbing of rocks by sand-laden wind called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Wind abrasion
Wind abrasion is the wearing, polishing, and cutting of exposed rock by sand and dust particles carried at speed by moving air. Thus option C is correct. This process is a type of aeolian erosion. Deposition means sediment settles, glaciation involves moving ice, and a tide is the periodic rise and fall of sea level; none of these means wind-driven rubbing.
