not at all. water is by far more dense therefore liter per liter, its way heavier. erosion happpens when partices are rubbed off an object, changing its shape. because water is much heavier than air. frictional force due to the mass of water will do much more erosion to an object

Why is running water erosion so powerful?
All erosion is powerful, especially given millions of years. Running water is particularly powerful because the water cycle constantly causes Fluvial erosion globally, and it is the extent to which running water is found compared to the other agents which makes it so powerful. Rivers in particular are able to transport a lot of material, and the sheer force of a river, like the Amazon for example, means that it erodes far quicker than any other form of erosion.
Is earth element more powerful than water element?
no
Which has more energy to cause erosion quickly moving water or slowly moving water?
Quickly moving water has more energy to cause erosion because quickly moving water digs deeper into the ground than slower water. Hope I Helped!!
What causes more erosion than anything else?
water in both liquid and solid form.
Why is the work of erosion and transportation of a river more in mountains than in plains?
The work of erosion and transportation is more in the mountains than in the plains because a river flows very fast in the highlands, leaving more scope to deposit water and finally cause erosion. But in the tables, the flow of the river is slower. It leaves less scope for water deposit and thus results in less deterioration.
Is splash erosion more powerful than gully rill and wave erosion?
When the sun heated the soil surface and soil does not have any water. when rain drops hit the surface of soil it cause the soil eroded.

Is water more powerful than wind?
Wind controls water, so no.

What has contributed to the wearing away of the Appalachian mountains?
Last I checked, the process was wind erosion. Water may have also played a role, but in a mountain range when it becomes more rounded, rather than jagged, it is usually wind erosion. the Appalachian Mountains are also hypothesized to be older than the Rockie Mountains therefore, having more time to wear away.

How do you think erosion may vary when you have snow or ice versus rain?
Water is constantly moving causing erosion to happen more quickly than snow or ice which does not move.
Does moving water erode land?
Any type of erosion is a cause for international concern, water and wind are the two primary causes accounting for more than 80% of the problem. Water erosion includes river and streams, rainfall, coastal erosion, freezing and thawing, glaciers and floods. Moving water erodes the land
