Which of the following is characteristic of both weathering and erosion?
a. occurs naturally
b. caused by burrowing animals
c. occurs with movement
d. caused by the pull of gravity

A. Occurs Naturally is the correct answer

The correct answer is - a. occurs naturally.

Both the weathering and the erosion are processes that occur naturally, and they are one of the most important processes that shape up the landscape on our planet.

The weathering is the process when the rocks break up after they have been exposed too much on the atmospheric influence. The erosion, on the other hand, is the process when the broken material is moved away from its initial place through the wind, water, gravity, or the ice. So the weathering is the process that enables the erosion, and both of them occur as a natural processes.
