Erosion is either chemical or mechanical (wind, water, ice etc.) and cause the deterioration or decomposition of rock through either of these two processes.

The results of erosion contribute to almost every geographical feature on the face of the earth (with the exception to volcano).

Some features include: river valleys, river basins, the seashore, coastal cliffs, messa's and buttes, plains etc.

What are three transporting agents of erosion?

Three transporting agents of erosion are water, wind, and ice. Water erosion is caused by rivers, streams, and rainfall, while wind erosion occurs in arid and windy environments. Ice erosion, known as glacial erosion, is caused by the movement of glaciers.

What is erosion and what are the common types?

Erosion is the process by which soil and rocks are broken down and transported by wind, water, or ice. Common types of erosion include water erosion (caused by rainfall and runoff), wind erosion (caused by wind carrying away soil particles), and glacier erosion (caused by glaciers picking up and moving rocks and debris).


Are canyons caused by erosion or weathering?

Canyons are mainly caused by erosion, particularly by the action of flowing water from rivers. Weathering, which is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces, can contribute to the process by making rocks more susceptible to erosion.
