Question
 | Wind Erosion | This image shows a large dust storm, typically caused by wind removing and transporting topsoil, sand, and debris from one location to another, which is common in arid and semi-arid regions. |
|  | Mass Wasting | The image illustrates a landslide, a form of erosion where gravity pulls rock and soil down a slope, often triggered by heavy rain, earthquakes, or human activities. |
**Diagram Explanation**
- **First Image (Top Left):** Depicts a dust storm which is a form of wind erosion.
- **Second Image (Bottom Left):** Shows a landslide, an example of mass wasting.
These visual examples help explain how different natural forces contribute to the reshaping of the Earth's surface over time.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F8cb59ff3-7c68-4f5f-85c3-3a96727b285f%2Fbe9b3b00-1c88-4c99-b6f9-a88000a5f5d7%2Fjuiw2y_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
