What is erosion?
Quick Answer
Erosion is the movement of weathered material by water, wind, ice or gravity. It transports sediment from one place to another and reshapes landforms.
The Full Story
Erosion follows weathering by carrying broken rock and soil away from where they formed. Rivers, glaciers, waves and wind can all move sediment, sometimes over great distances. This process carves valleys, builds deltas and reshapes coastlines. Human activities such as deforestation and poor land management can accelerate erosion dramatically.
