Best Answer

Water erosion happens when moving water picks up sediments and wears away (or erodes) the bank of the water. It happens because water naturally wears away sediment

How cold does it have to be for an erosion to happen?

Erosion due to cold temperatures will happen at 32 F or below, as long as the temperature eventually risies above 32 F. This is erosion due to the freeze-thaw cycle. There are also forms of erosion that result from weather and from water movement, and these forms can occure at any temperature, warm or cold.
