Detailed explanation-1: -It occurs under normal undisturbed conditions balance with the process of soil formation from rocks weathering and organic matter. It is a natural process depending on climate and other condition beyond human influence. As it occurs naturally so it is also called natural erosion or normal erosion.
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: -The correct answer is Erosion. Geologic Erosion or “natural” erosion, is the action of the wind, water, ice and gravity in wearing away rock to form soil and shape the ground surface. Except for some stream and shore erosion, it is a relatively slow, continuous process that often goes unnoticed.
