Type your answer here... By deflation and abrasion.
Glaciers cause erosion since they are in form of a block of snow which will melt and erode the land. This can be in form of abrasion, freeze-thaw or plucking.
Below are the four agents of erosion, so take what you need:Fluvial erosion - rivers mainly. Rivers erode by hydraulic action, abrasion, attrition and solution. Deposition occurs because the river has run out of energy, or energy is low.Marine erosion - oceans and seas. These erode by hydraulic action and abrasion mainly, as the ocean has great sheer force. They do not transport much material, as most of the work is done by gravity, so most material is left directly under where it came from, but separate nonetheless.Glacial erosion - glaciers. Glaciers erode by plucking and abrasion, then deposit the moraine (glacial load) at the snoutAeolian erosion - wind. Wind erodes mainly by blasting sediment at rocks, which is classic abrasion. Sediment is often deposited as a dune.All agents of erosion cause both erosion and deposition as ultimately all eroded material is deposited.
Erosion caused by waves is known as Hydraulic Action, which mostly consists of air bubbles being forced into cracks in rocks. Waves also cause abrasion whereby material transported in the wave collides at speed with a rock face, wearing it away. Wave erosion is a type of marine erosion.
because when something hits of something two rocks for instance they would weather each other and ware themselves away by hitting and rubbing off one another
The two ways in which waves cause erosion are deflation and abrasion.
abrasion and corrosion ?
Abrasion
Type your answer here... By deflation and abrasion.
Abrasion is where flowing water picks up rocks and moves them along in it's current. It can cause damage to the side of rivers (Lateral Erosion) as well as the riverbed (Vertical Erosion). Abrasion can also be defined a lot simpler by just saying "When waves throw rocks up at cliffs" etc. This is not to be confused with Attrition though.

You know on a beach when you walk on the park that is really smooth and right next to the water, abrasion took the minerals and took them with the water and landed on the beach which makes it smooth. Hope that works. :) If not please tell me.
A river's velocity is hugely important as erosion on the outside of a meander is solely down to this factor. This is because the river is hurling rocks (abrasion) and air bubbles into the rock face, causing it to break down quickly. The quicker the river, the more abrasion and hydraulic action will cause erosion. This means that the meander moves outwards, and causes further erosion.
One way waves cause erosion is by forcing pressurized water and compressed air into cracks in the rocks. This causes the cracks to widen and pieces of the material to break off, bit by bit. Waves also cause abrasion when they cause particles move against one another or against the bedrock.

Tornadoes do not cause significant weathering, though they can cause localized soil erosion.
