Mass Wasting - Erosion: Water, Wind & Weather (U.S. National Park Service)

erosion | National Geographic SocietyErosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.

Erosion | Description, Causes, Facts, & Typeserosion, removal of surface material from Earth’s crust, primarily soil and rock debris, and the transportation of the eroded materials by natural agencies (such as water or wind) from the point of removal. The broadest application of the term erosion embraces the general wearing down and molding of all landforms on Earth’s surface, including the weathering of rock in its original position, the transport of weathered material, and erosion caused by wind action and fluvial, marine, and glacial processes. This broad definition is more correctly called denudation, or degradation, and includes mass-movement processes. A narrow and somewhat limiting definition of
