Detailed explanation-1: -Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water. A similar process, weathering, breaks down or dissolves rock, but does not involve movement.

Detailed explanation-2: -Erosion has a constant impact on Earth’s surface. Over millions of years, it wears down mountains by removing byproducts of weathering and depositing them elsewhere.

Detailed explanation-3: -Destructive forces break down land. The two main forces that break down land slowly are weathering and erosion. Weathering is the breaking down of rocks due to forces such as wind and water. The pieces of rock are then moved elsewhere through the process of erosion.

Detailed explanation-4: -Destructive processes (weathering, erosion, impact of organisms) create unique surface features (examples could include widening rivers, shrinking beaches, glacial valleys)

Detailed explanation-5: -Constructive forces include crustal deformation, volcanic eruption, and deposition of sediment, while destructive forces include weathering and erosion.
