Because the movement of solid objects generates friction, and friction wears down surfaces.
On Earth, where we have wind, water and ice to carry particles around and away, erosion occurs. But on the moon (for example) craters, rocks, and even grains of regolith (lunar sand and dust) stay sharp and uneroded after billions of years; they're not tumbling past each other and wearing down their edges.

How do rocks reduce or prevent soil erosion?
It blocks the erosion from happening. That is why it prevents/reduces the effects of erosion
Are landslide to rapid changes?
Erosion and weathering typically work over long periods of time, causing change slowly. However, with global warming and loss of native plants in many areas, erosion and weathering are happening at a more rapid rate.
What is the evidence that the rock cycle is happening?
The existence of denudational processes such as weathering, erosion, transportations and deposition. And also the activities of mass wasting/movement, rock deformation and faulting.
What are types of erosions?
There is water erosion, wind erosion, ice erosion, basically anything that breaks down earth materials is erosion.
What is the process that break down rock called?
Weathering or erosion.
How do rocks reduce or prevent soil erosion?
It blocks the erosion from happening. That is why it prevents/reduces the effects of erosion
Where is soil erosion happening the most?
There happening the most in north amerrica and maine
Why is coastal erosion happening?
Because it happens
What is the example of erosion happening around your neighborhood or local area?
an example of erosion happening in our area is the way water moves the soil to another place.
When and where is erosion happening?
erosion can happen anywhere and at antime unlees nothing is giving the cause
How can you stop erosion from happening?
by planting more trees
Do salt marshes help protect the coast from erosion?
do salt marches prevent erosion fro happening
Does weathering must take place before erosion?
Not exactly, when erosion occurs weathering is happening.' Weathering is almost the same thing as erosion, but not completely.
Sentence with the word erosion?
Ill make it an easy one haha "Erosion is happening on beaches around the united states everyday"
What can be done to reduce the amount of erosion happening?
The planting of more trees can protect soil from wind and water erosion. The terracing of hillsides also helps to reduce the effects of erosion.
Does weathering help to make the mixture of sediments that makes up soil?
Maybe yes because erosion is happening erosion carry rocks and sediments
Where is erosion caused?
Erosion is caused wherever there is an erosive force present:A riverAn oceanA strong windA glacierIn any place where these are found, you can be sure to find erosion also happening. The answer specifically could be everywhere: there are other forms of erosion, like gulley erosion, which cause erosion away from a body of water.
