Erosion is a slow wearing away of the land by the forces of nature. Erosion wears down such land features as mountains, beaches and riverbanks. With erosion, boundary lines can change if the boundary line is a stream, riverbank or cliff.
Avulsion is the sudden wearing away of the land by the forces of nature such as a flood or hurricane. Avulsion can drastically change the shape of the land bordering a river or stream. With avulsion and the possibility of a sudden significant change in boundaries, the boundary lines remain the same.
In property law, the slow meandering movement of a boundary stream or river that separates two farmers' meadows will continually change the boundary between their properties. A sudden flood that changes the course of the stream fifty feet to one side will not. The former location of the stream can be marked, if possible, and will remain the boundary line.

The wearing away and removal of soil is called erosion. It is a natural process where soil is loosened and transported by wind, water, ice, or gravity. Erosion can be accelerated by human activities such as deforestation and improper land use.
Wearing away of rocks is called weathering.

Erosion
an erosion is the wearing away and changing of land by the movement of water and wind.
Erosion!!!!
The breaking down and wearing away of rocks is called weathering. This process can be caused by physical (mechanical) or chemical processes.
it causes the wearing away of the soil particles from the ground
Moving away from land is called an ebb tide.
