soluble nutrients and minerals are drained from soil through water action

|
|
soil/rock is moved from one surface to another by wind/water/glaciers

Detailed explanation-1: -Erosion is the opposite of deposition, the geological process in which earthen materials are deposited, or built up, on a landform. Most erosion is performed by liquid water, wind, or ice (usually in the form of a glacier). If the wind is dusty, or water or glacial ice is muddy, erosion is taking place.
Detailed explanation-2: -Erosion is the process by which soil and rock particles are worn away and moved elsewhere by gravity, or by a moving transport agent – wind, water or ice.
Detailed explanation-3: -The three processes of wind erosion are surface creep, saltation and suspension.
Detailed explanation-4: -Erosion is the process by which natural forces move weathered rock and soil from one place to another. Gravity, running water, glaciers, waves, and wind all cause erosion. The material moved by erosion is sediment.
Detailed explanation-5: -Wind erosion is a natural process that moves soil from one location to another by wind power. It can cause significant economic and environmental damage.
