Problem Analysis:
The task involves matching statements from
Column A with their corresponding explanations or descriptions in
Column B. The goal is to understand how ocean waves cause erosion and the processes involved.
Step-by-Step Solution:
####
Column A:
1.
Waves erode rock by removing small particles of sediment.
2.
Waves erode rock by breaking it into smaller pieces.
3.
Waves erode rock by wearing away its surface.
####
Column B:
1.
This happens when the force of the water is strong enough to break apart rocks.
2.
This happens when the water carries away small particles of sediment.
3.
This happens when the water rubs against the rock over time.
Matching Process:
1.
Statement in Column A: "Waves erode rock by removing small particles of sediment."
- This describes the process where waves carry away small particles of sediment, which is a form of erosion.
-
Matching Explanation in Column B: "This happens when the water carries away small particles of sediment."
-
Match: 1 → 2
2.
Statement in Column A: "Waves erode rock by breaking it into smaller pieces."
- This describes the process where the force of the water is strong enough to physically break apart rocks into smaller pieces.
-
Matching Explanation in Column B: "This happens when the force of the water is strong enough to break apart rocks."
-
Match: 2 → 1
3.
Statement in Column A: "Waves erode rock by wearing away its surface."
- This describes the process where the constant rubbing of water (and often abrasive particles) against the rock surface causes gradual wear and tear.
-
Matching Explanation in Column B: "This happens when the water rubs against the rock over time."
-
Match: 3 → 3
Final Answer:
The correct matches are:
-
1 → 2
-
2 → 1
-
3 → 3
Boxed Answer:
\[
\boxed{1 \rightarrow 2, 2 \rightarrow 1, 3 \rightarrow 3}
\]
