Detailed explanation-1: -Liquid water is the major agent of erosion on Earth. Rain, rivers, floods, lakes, and the ocean carry away bits of soil and sand and slowly wash away the sediment. Rainfall produces four types of soil erosion: splash erosion, sheet erosion, rill erosion, and gully erosion.
Detailed explanation-2: -Erosion. The movement of sediment or soil from one location to another by means of water, ice or wind.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Earth’s surface gets broken down through weathering. Weathering wears away rocks and soil. Water is often the main cause of weathering, either as rain or ice. Rainwater can easily enter cracks in rocks or sidewalks.
