1 answer

The two processes that are considered destructive forces during sedimentary rock formation are weathering and erosion.

  • Weathering breaks down existing rocks into smaller particles and sediments.
  • Erosion involves the transportation of these weathered materials by natural forces such as water, wind, or ice.

Therefore, the correct answer is weathering and erosion.
