How does wind cause erosion?(1 point) Responses by lifting up smaller grains, smashing them against rocks by lifting up smaller grains, smashing them against rocks by crashing against rocks, causing their shape to change by crashing against rocks, causing their shape to change by placing sediments onto sand dunes, determining their shape by placing sediments onto sand dunes, determining their shape by moving slowly downhill, picking up pieces of rock as it goes

Answer 1

Wind causes erosion primarily by lifting up smaller grains and smashing them against rocks. This process, known as abrasion, involves the wind carrying sand and other particulates, which then impact surfaces and gradually wear them away. Therefore, the correct response is: **by lifting up smaller grains, smashing them against rocks.**
