UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Running Water

Running water is a major agent of weathering, erosion, and transportation in soil formation. It breaks down rock material, carries eroded sediment, and deposits it elsewhere, contributing to the soil-forming process.

Volcanic heat, magnetic force, and centrifugal force do not function as agents of soil erosion and transportation in this way.

Therefore, the correct answer is Running Water.
