Erosion
Erosion is the act or state of eroding:objects moving from one location to another.
4 Types of Erosion
Water Erosion occurs from the chemicals in the water and the force of the flow of water in the river.
Wind Erosion is when light objects such as rocks and pebbles are carried by the wind and hit landforms,Eroding materials off them.
Soil Erosion plays the biggest price to farmers. It carries the top soil away from farmlands, and make the soil unfertile.
Sea Erosion uses salts and chemicals that can erode weak rocks on the coast, such as limestone and chalk.
Weathering is the breaking down of rocks.
Physical Weathering makes it easier for surface materials to chemically decompose and be eroded.
Chemical Weathering uses the minerals in rocks formed beneath the surface to break down the rocks.
Water Weathering is some what like Wind Erosion because the water takes away materials but it's not like erosion because it takes the materials with it all the way.
Mass Movement is the down slope movement of Earth materials under the influence of gravity.
