GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away.

Detailed explanation-3: -Physical erosion describes the process of rocks changing their physical properties without changing their basic chemical composition. Physical erosion often causes rocks to get smaller or smoother.

Detailed explanation-4: -Erosion is the physical removal and transportation of weathered material by water, wind, ice, or gravity. Mass wasting is the transfer or movement of rock or soil down slope primarily by gravity.

Detailed explanation-5: -surface erosion. fluvial erosion. mass-movement erosion. streambank erosion. 24-Nov-2008
