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 snout
- Aeolian 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.

Cutting trees
What are three things that form from to erosion?
The three things that form erosion are sand, water, and other rocks.
How do three processes act together to wear down and build up earth's surface?
Weathering, Erosion, and lastly Deposition!!!!! :)
What are the agents of erosion and deposition?
Water, ice and wind are the three main agents of erosion. Deposition is usually by water carrying sand and silt away to be deposited downstream. Wind may blow grains of rock away and deposit the grains to form sand dunes.

What are three things that form from to erosion?
The three things that form erosion are sand, water, and other rocks.
What are 3 main types of work a river carries out along its valley?
the work of rivers can be seen in three ways namely 1. transportation of materials from uplands to lowlands 2. erosion by rivers and the resultant features 3. deposition by rivers and its effects

What are some similarities between erosion and weathering?
they both have to do with sediments
How does erosion have anything to do with the rock cycle?
Erosion transports weathered material from all three rock types in the rock cycle to a point of deposition where it can lithify into sedimentary rock.
What are three landforms that are shaped by weathering and erosion?
Three landforms created by wind erosion and deposition are Dunes, Deflatation Hollows, and Desert Pavement.
