What has contributed to the wearing away of the Appalachian mountains?
Last I checked, the process was wind erosion.

The word "abraion" does not exist. You may have been thinking of "abrasion", which is either the process of wearing away or scraping, or damage to some surface because of wearing away or scraping.
