Mariah Cardenas · Answer 1

weathering - - - 2. the disintegration of rocks.

mass wasting - - - 3. the downslope movement of broken rock material.

denudation - - - 1. the lowering of the land surface.

erosion - - 4. the removal and transport of fragmented rock material.

Explanation:

The process of weathering is associated with physical weathering which is the break down of the rocks into smaller fragments by the action of the erosion agents and slowly the rocks get disintegrated and removal of the material takes place. The mass wasting is known as the downward slope movement and is a process wherein the soil, sand and rocks move down under the force of gravity and are characterized by the flow of the mud and debris. Dedunation is process of the removal away of the earth surface by the air, water and ice etc. Erosion involved the movement and transport of the matter on earth surface particles in solid and liquid or semi solid state.
