weathering
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Erosion moves pieces of the Earth. As pieces of the Earth are broken down by weathering, they are carried away in a process called erosion.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Hence, from the above-mentioned points, it becomes clear that the combined action of weathering and erosion is known as Denudation..

Detailed explanation-5: -Erosion refers to the phenomenon of gradual wearing away of the landscape by natural agents like water, wind and ice.
