Erosion
Erosion vs weathering
Erosion is moving the rock to a differing place and breaking the rocks down that way. Weathering is breaking the rocks down in place like by ice getting in a rock and breaking it down
Types of erosion
Wind erosion-is the rock being broken down by the wind carrying it somewhere And putting it in a new place
Water erosion-is when water breaks down a rock carrying to a new place this would usually happen in moving water like a river
Ice erosion-is a really big one usually done by glaciers over a long period of time erode a large area this is probably the biggest type of erosion
Sea erosion-is very similar to water erosion but always happens in the ocean. It happens because of the salt and chemicals in the ocean and can very easily erode rocks by hitting against them and breaking them apart
