Why does erosion occur on the outside?

Erosion occurs on the outside of objects due to the continuous impact of external forces such as wind, water, and ice. These forces wear down the surface of the material over time, leading to erosion. Additionally, factors like temperature changes and chemical reactions can also contribute to erosion on the outside.
