Which of the following statements is true?

Question

Deltas form in the mountains.
Raindrops are too light to cause erosion.
Wind erosion is most problematic in dry climates.
Rill erosion happens when sand is eroded by wind.

Answer 1

The true statement among the options provided is:

Wind erosion is most problematic in dry climates.

In dry climates, there is less vegetation to anchor the soil, making it more susceptible to erosion by wind. The other statements are not accurate.

• Deltas typically form at river mouths, not in the mountains.
• Raindrops can indeed contribute to erosion.
• Rill erosion involves the formation of small channels in soil, primarily by water, not sand eroded by wind.
