Answer:

The correct option is C) The process of erosion creates soil.

This statement is completely untrue as erosion does NOT create soil

Explanation:

Erosion is the geological action of moving soil or other similar substances from one place to another over a long period of time. Erosion can occur due to flowing water or even air.

At times, this can be good for the environment, being especially helpful in depositing fertile soil. However, erosion can be damaging for the environment as well, e.g. in the case of landslides.

Answer:

Erosion can benefit the environment.

Explanation:

  • Erosion is a surface process that takes away or removes or erodes the geo, material form the soil and carries it farther apart and also under the influence of the various agents of erosion transports it too far of distances.
  • The effects of rainfall, runoff,  rivers, and streams all relate to the process of erosion and this has a serious impact on the coastal lands as the sediments tend to be drifted and eroded or corroded by the presence of various chemicals and other physical forces acting over the surfaces.
  • Thus the erosion can't benefit the environment at large.
