Best Answer

Erosion is caused by the different type of waves eating at the rocks and over thousands of years breaking more and more of the rocks and dissolving most of the dust. It's possible that over trillions and trillions of years there will be no land left because of erosion and lots of rock will disappear into the oceans.
