Land erosion can wear away or weaken areas, resulting in landslides, rock falls and flooding. Erosion also removes the top layer of farmland soil. Removing its nutrients and making it infertile or causing pollution as chemical fertilisers and pesticides are transported elsewhere.

The actual process by which erosion takes place can be due to dissolved carbon dioxide in rainwater making it acidic and dissolve rocks, mechanical breakdown by the force of waves or the freeze thaw effect of water expanding in rock cracks at night just to name a few.

How does glacial erosion affects the shape of the land?

Glacial erosion can carve out deep valleys, create U-shaped valleys, and leave behind moraines and drumlins. The movement of glaciers erodes rock and soil, shaping the land through processes such as abrasion and plucking. As glaciers flow over the landscape, they can significantly alter the topography by creating features like cirques and fjords.
