Runoff is water that fell from the clouds onto the earth, then is either sliding down the earth or through the earth back down to the ocean. Erosion is the ocean waters washing up on the shore, slowly breaking down and separating the rocks and earth.
Runoff refers to the flow of water over the surface of the land after precipitation, which can lead to erosion. Sheet erosion is the process where a thin layer of soil is removed uniformly from a large area by the action of water flowing over it. In essence, runoff can cause sheet erosion as the water moves across the land.
Runoff can lead to erosion by carrying away loose soil and sediment. When rainwater flows over the land, it can pick up particles and transport them downhill, causing the erosion of soil surfaces and streambanks. Increased runoff due to factors like urban development or deforestation can intensify erosion processes.
The term "runoff" (precipitation that collects and then flows out of an area) is a major factor in erosion, not a preventive action.Sometimes runoff can be limited, or otherwise prevented from carrying away soil (e.g. dams and sills that only let water over the top).
Runoff can increase erosion by carrying away soil particles and sediment from the land surface. The speed and volume of runoff from precipitation can cause faster and more extensive erosion by washing away topsoil and exposing the underlying layers to erosion processes.
Runoff can increase erosion rates by carrying sediments and pollutants that can wear away soil and rock more quickly. Increased runoff can lead to more water flowing over the land, which can pick up and transport more material, resulting in higher rates of erosion.

Erosion is one. Deforestation contributes to runoff and erosion.
Erosion by runoff refers to the removal of soil and rock particles by water flowing over the land surface, often caused by rainfall or melting snow. Stream erosion, on the other hand, occurs when flowing water in a stream or river carries away sediment and rocks from the streambed and banks, shaping the land over time. While both processes involve the movement of sediment by water, stream erosion specifically refers to erosion that occurs within the channel of a stream or river.
