Eriosion is the wearing away/displacement of land over time either by wind, water or ice. A certain amount of erosion is natural and, in fact, healthy for the ecosystem. For example, gravel continuously move downstream in watercourses. Excessive erosion, however, does cause problems, such as receiving water sedimentation, ecosystem damage and outright loss of soil.
