WEATHERING is represented by the scenario (As waves crash into rock along the shoreline, particles of sand, shell, and other materials in the ocean water loosen tiny bits of sediment from the rock).

Erosion is represented by the scenario (As the waves recede, they carry the sediment away).

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance which travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another. When wind blows over a water body like the ocean, ocean waves are formed. As the generated energy from the wind is transported through the water by the waves, the can hit against rocks on the shores leading to its break down with time. WEATHERING occurs when tiny bit of sediments from rocks are loosened due to the impact of ocean waves.

Erosion can be described as the wearing away of the earth's surface due to the impact of wind, rainfall ( water) or waves. There are different types of erosion which is classified according it's cause of formation.

Wave erosion occurs when sediments such as sand, shell and other materials are carried to the shoreline by ocean waves. This erodes the shore over time as the sediments act like sandpapers.

1) when you rub your hands together quickly, the kinetic energy is converted to mechanical energy.2) thermal energy from the sun travels to earth as infrared waves.3) energy is transferred through the matter of space by electromagnetic waves. 4) when a match is burned, chemical potential energy is converted to thermal and radiant energy. 5) seismicwaves are caused by back and forth movement , or vibration, of an object. 6) mechanicalenergy in an engine changes thermal energy into kinetic energy to make a car move.

Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun. it was the first planet to get its existence predicted by mathematical calculations before it was actually seen through a telescope on sept. 23, 1846. irregularities in the orbit of uranus led french astronomer alexis bouvard to suggest that the gravitational pull from another celestial body might be responsible. german astronomer johann galle then relied on subsequent calculations to spot neptune via telescope. previously, astronomer galileo galilei sketched the planet, but he mistook it for a star due to its slow motion. in accordance with all the other planets seen in the sky, this new world was given a name from greek and roman mythology — neptune, the roman god of the sea.
