**Explanation:**
Amortization refers to the gradual writing off of an intangible asset over a specific period of time. Typically, intangible assets like patents are amortized to reflect their decreasing value and utility over time. Land is not amortized since it does not lose value in the same way intangible assets do. Oil reserves and timber may be subject to depletion and depreciation, respectively, which are different accounting processes.
