is is the gradual depletion, or breaking down, or wearing away. Landforms are eroded by the elements. water, wind, fire, tectonic plates, friction, natural sorts of things, and also when people step around they create eroded paths where they have walked

What is the process of erosion and how is it related to weathering?
Weathering breaks up the substance, and erosion causes it to move.
How can weathering and erosion be controlled or prevented?
Weathering and erosion cant be controlled or prevented as they are natural causes.
How can weathering and erosion change Earth's landforms?
Weathering and erosion causes the Earth's landforms to wear away forming new features. Eg. A limestone headland can be weathered by rainwater forming clints, dykes, caves etc while at sea the waves can erode the part of the headland jutting out into the sea forming a cliff and wave-cut platform.
What is the cause of the erosion?
wind and water are the 2 causes of weathering and erosion
What causes weathering and erosion on the coast?
Ocean Waves
Which causes more change in landforms deposition erosion or weathering?
Erosion is caused by a river, which is water. Water is rain, rain is weather. Therefore, they are the same.
How are erosion and weathering related?
Erosion causes the movement of material down hill. Weathering usually leaves the material being effected in place.
What is the effect of erosion by wind?
Wind erosion is the erosion of sediment by wind. This occurs when the lifting power of moving air is able to exceed the force of gravity.
What causes the breakdown of rocks?
WEATHERING and EROSION
The major cause of weathering and erosion is?
Wind and water are the major causes of weathering and erosion.
What is the process of erosion and how is it related to weathering?
Weathering breaks up the substance, and erosion causes it to move.
How can weathering and erosion be controlled or prevented?
Weathering and erosion cant be controlled or prevented as they are natural causes.
Does depositison causes the most change in landforms?
weathering
In what order do deposition weathering and erosion occur?
first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.
