Detailed explanation-1: -Terms in this set (55) What are wind and water erosion not likely to affect? The narrow layer around Earth’s surface in which life can exist.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -For billions of years, wind and water have contributed to the ongoing reshaping of Earth’s surface. As important transporters in the natural processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition, wind and water break down, move around, and build up materials and debris across Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-4: -In fluid dynamics, a wind wave, water wave, or wind-generated water wave, is a surface wave that occurs on the free surface of bodies of water as a result of the wind blowing over the water’s surface. The contact distance in the direction of the wind is known as the fetch.
