Detailed explanation-1: -Erosion is the process where rocks are broken down by natural forces such as wind or water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Erosion is the removal and transportation of rock or soil. Erosion can move sediment through water, ice, or wind. Water can wash sediment, such as gravel or pebbles, down from a creek, into a river, and eventually to that river’s delta.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away. Water, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering and erosion.
Detailed explanation-5: -The process of moving weathered rock and depositing it in another location is called erosion. So, nature has a special way of carving the land due to erosion. The nutrients at a particular location are depleted due to loss of soil.
