What is ersion?
Erosion is the removal of soil and rock from the surface of the Earth through so-called exogenic processes like wind or water flow. The soil and rock is transported and settles in another location.
How does erosion changes the earth's surface?
Because it carries sediment away and by doing that it can make landforms!! ;)
What is the movement of sediment from one place to another by wind water waves gravity or glaciers?
Erosion is the process in which sediment moves from one location to another.Do not get this confused with deposition, which is the process in which sediment is dropped (deposited) in a new location.
What is the process by which wind removes surface materials and picks up the smallest particles of sediment and may create desert pavement?
erosion?
How is igneous rock changed into sedimentary rock?
The surface of igneous rock is broken down over time through erosion processes into smaller particles and eventually sediment, it can be through different erosion processes such as water erosion. Sedimentary rock is formed through layers and layers of sediment being deposited upon each other and the resulting pressure eventually compresses into sedimentary rock over millions of years.
Does erosion cause sediment for surface waters?

Which type of erosion moves the most sediment on the earth's surface?
Glacier Erosion

What kind of erosion would cause long scratch marks on rocks surface?
I think you are talking about a groove cast. Groove casts form in the bottom of a stream when transported sediment is dragged along a mud bottom.
By what process are surface materials removed and transported from one location to another?
Erosion is the process of surface materials and their transport.

Which force wears away at earth's surface?
There is a couple forces one of them are erosion powered by water such a rivers
How would you change sedimentary rock into sediment?
You would bring it to the surface where the exposed sedimentary rock would be subject to weathering and erosion and the debris from these processes will be sediment once deposited again.
What is the process by which wind removes surface materials and picks up the smallest particles of sediment and may create desert pavement?
erosion?
How weathering and erosion work together?
how can water and gravity work together to erode soil, sediment, and rock
What statement explains the observation that sediments on earth surface sometimes differ in composition from the underlying bedrock?
Erosion moves sediment to new locations
