It is usually water since it has a heavier density.
It is theorised that the great canyon was created in a matter of minutes when a large amount of water broke free from an ice dam back in the ice age.
The wind erodes rocks by battering other small rock particles against them, like the action of sandblasting.
No, rocks are not formed when magma erodes. Rocks are typically formed when magma cools and solidifies underground or on the Earth's surface. Erosion is the wearing away of rocks and minerals by wind, water, or ice over time.
Small grains erode faster than big grains because small grains have a larger surface area relative to their volume, allowing more contact with flowing water or wind that can wear them away more quickly. Additionally, small grains are often lighter and more easily transported by wind or water, further contributing to their erosion.
Wind, water, and ice all contribute to the formation of canyons through erosion. Wind erodes rock surfaces by carrying abrasive particles that wear away the rock over time. Water, in the form of rivers or streams, carries sediment and erodes the canyon walls as it flows through, creating deeper channels. Ice, through processes like freeze-thaw cycles, can cause rock fractures to widen and break apart, further shaping the canyon.
No, ocean waves cannot move faster than the wind that generates them. Waves are a result of the energy transferred from the wind to the water's surface, so they generally travel at a speed proportional to the wind speed.
Wind and water
wind because it slowly erodes it.

Wind, water and chemical reactions.
The three main agents of erosion are water, wind, and glaciers. Water erodes through processes like rivers and waves, wind erodes through abrasion and deflation, and glaciers erode through plucking and abrasion.
Fast moving water will erode faster because it is more powerful than slow moving water.
Sand tends to erode faster than clay because it has larger particles that are easily carried away by water or wind. Clay particles are smaller and more tightly packed together, making them more resistant to erosion.
i don't know exactly but wind erodes rock
the wind whips at the sand and rocks and erodes them
the faster the river flows the more it erodes.
Deflation...
Wind erodes the land by picking up and moving particles such as sand and silt. As the wind blows over the land, it can carry these particles, causing abrasion and wearing down rocks and soil over time. This process can create features like sand dunes and rock formations.
