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. A similar process, weathering, breaks down or dissolves rock, but does not involve movement.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rocks are continually weathered down by wind, water, chemicals, and ice. After the rocks are broken down into smaller pieces we call sediment, they are eroded away and deposited in lake beds and on the ocean floor. Wind erosion is the process by which wind moves sand or soil from one location to another.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering and erosion.

Detailed explanation-4: -For example weathering is the breaking down of rocks and minerals, erosion is the movement the weathered material and deposition is the dropping off of the eroded material. River erosion happens when the river flows over the land. The material in the river (sand, boulders, silt) is the one that contributes to erosion.
