What is the wearing away of the earth's surface by the breakdown and transportation of rock and soil?
Erosion
How does erosion changes the earth's surface?
Because it carries sediment away and by doing that it can make landforms!! ;)
Why is weathering and erosion the reason earth has soil?
The weathering break it down and erosion carries it to another place which turns to sediment eventually turns to soil.
What is the movement of sediment from one place to another by wind water waves gravity or glaciers?
Erosion is the process in which sediment moves from one location to another.Do not get this confused with deposition, which is the process in which sediment is dropped (deposited) in a new location.
Why might a river that that was eroding and depositing sediment along its sides start to cut into earth into earth to form a canyon?
it happens because of erosion in the surface of the earth creating a canyon.
What is the breakdown of the earth's crust into sediment called?
weathering
Which type of erosion moves the most sediment on the earth's surface?

Which force wears away at earth's surface?
There is a couple forces one of them are erosion powered by water such a rivers

erosion
What statement explains the observation that sediments on earth surface sometimes differ in composition from the underlying bedrock?
Erosion moves sediment to new locations
Contrast weathering and erosion?
Weathering is the disintegration and decomposition of rock at or near the surface of the Earth. Erosion is the transportation of material by water, wind, or ice. Simplistically, weathering is the breakdown of rocks and erosion is the carrying away of the broken down fragments.
What is a place where sand and gravel are removed from the earth called?
Sediment plant
