In some places, glaciers left behind rich oil. Erosion is the process by which water and wind wear away land. Flowing water can even carve a path through stones over a long period. Overtime, the soil carried by rivers can fill valleys and create plains. Wind causes erosion as it blows bits of stone and earth from the surface of landforms. The combined of wind and water have carved natural bridges, steep cliffs, and deep valleys.
