Only the action of erosion causes erosion, but water itself causes weathering:
Erosion- Oceans
- Rivers
- Glaciers
- Freeze-thaw
- Solution (Dissolving)
- Acid Rain
Water has no particular property which causes erosion, but its properties do cause weathering: when it freezes it expands, hence freeze-thaw weathering; it is a good solvent, hence it can dissolve soluble minerals, as well as acid, causing acid rain.

What is the biggest cause of erosion?
The biggest cause of erosion is wind and water.

No, sand, wind, and water can cause erosion.
Which part of the water cycle might cause erosion?
Precipitation will cause erosion. If you are counting collection as part of the water cycle, that can cause erosion, too, as the water moves over the ground.

What property of water causes the curved surfaces?
erosion
Does ground water cause erosion?
no
What is the cause of the erosion?
wind and water are the 2 causes of weathering and erosion
Why does erosion occur on the outside?
erosion occur outside because water and wind cause erosion
What effects can weathering and erosion have on the water supply?
Weathering and erosion (which are synonyms) can cause minerals to leach into the water supply - for example, erosion of a rock which contains bauxite will cause aluminum to be present in the downstream water.
What is the purpose of seawall construction?
The purpose of seawall construction is to improve properties near water by preventing the water from eroding or flooding the land near the property. Erosion and flooding can do serious damage to the property and can cause problems for building built near water.
Does earths tilt cause erosion?
N0- erosion is caused by wind and by water.
