1. The Colorado River carves land in Arizona to form the Grand Canyon- Erosion

2. Cracks form in a sandstone wall surrounding a house- Weathering

3. A marble statue near the science museum is changing color due to rainfall- Weathering

4. After a rainstorm, soil and rock pieces litter the roadways- Weathering

5. The sand dunes in the Sahara Desert are changing shape- Weathering

Explanation:

Weathering is the process where rock is dissolved, worn away or broken down into very small pieces.

Erosion happens when rocks and sediments are picked up and moved to another place by ice, water, wind or gravity

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.
