is the process of weathering and transport of solids (sediment, soil, rock and other particles) in the natural environment or their source and deposits them elsewhere. It usually occurs due to transport by wind, water, or ice; by down-slope creep of soil and other material under the force of gravity; or by living organisms, such as burrowing animals, in the case of bioerosion.
Erosion is a natural process, but it has been increased dramatically by human land use, especially industrial agriculture, deforestation, and urban sprawl.[1][2] Land that is used for industrial agriculture generally experiences a significantly greater rate of erosion than that of land under natural vegetation, or land used for sustainable agricultural practices. This is particularly true if tillage is used, which reduces vegetation cover on the surface of the soil and disturbs both soil structure and plant roots that would otherwise hold the soil in place. However, improved land use practices can limit erosion, using techniques such as terrace-building, conservation tillage practices, and tree planting.
A certain amount of erosion is natural and, in fact, healthy for the ecosystem. For example, gravels continuously move downstream in watercourses. Excessive erosion, however, causes serious problems, such as receiving water sedimentation, ecosystem damage and outright loss of soil.
Erosion is distinguished from weathering, which is the process of chemical or physical breakdown of the minerals in the rocks, although the two processes may occur concurrently.
Discuss the features that are formed by water, erosion, and deposition?
Erosion is an easy idea to understand. If you see a rock, pull it out of a mountain. Then throw it down on the ground. You are now a part of the erosion of that mountain
Mountains, Hills, and other land features
erosion results in a flattening of land form.
Erosion increases when there is a flood and when land is plowed and there is no cover crop that would prevent wind erosion.
Steepness of land means that water can run down at greater speeds taking with it lose top soil. Once this top soil is gone this means the under soil which is easy to erode is eroded easily by rainfall and so gullies form due to the erosion of the soil. Hope this vaguely answered your questions. :)

Water.
well first is weathering, then the sediments ,then erosion takes the sediments to a new place ,then they are deposited there for a new land form to come
Erosion creates new land.
Erosion can be helpful because it breaks up rocks to form new soil. It can also be harmful by destroying the land and ecosystems.
weathering, erosion, deposition
Land degradation is the land that is being degraded in some form that is negative. Soil erosion is when rock and soil is removed from one location of land to another.
Glaciers cause erosion since they are in form of a block of snow which will melt and erode the land. This can be in form of abrasion, freeze-thaw or plucking.
the answer to the question how does erosion change the land is basically the definition of erosion
They are formed usually from extinct volcanoes
Valleys, Mountains, and Rivers, occasionally volcanoes... ~:)
is when something is erosed with time and gets an eroded form and land forms erode too
Wave erosion is when ocean waves move sediments and erode the ocean floor.Coastal erosion is when ocean waves generate currents, and when in comes into contact with land, it erodes the land.
There are many different ways that a land form evolve. These land forms can evolve by erosion or deposition for example.
