Erosion is caused by four factors primarily (although this is a simplification):
- Fluvial (including rivers)
- Marine
- Glacial
- Aeolian (wind)
The most common cause is difficult to say. If you live by an ocean, Marine weathering is most common; a desert, Aeolian; and so on. However, worldwide, the most common cause of erosion is probably that caused by the sea as it removes material from the Coastlines around the world all day, every day, at a rapid rate and everywhere.
