 Hello everybody! Today I will be telling you all
Introduction about erosion. I hope you learn a lot about
erosion and even learn something new :)
 Erosion is when wind rain or other elements
wear away a surface and the pieces get
transported elsewhere. You may think that this
is basically weathering, but weathering is when
What is erosion? a rock or something else wears away by itself
or over time, not due to wind, rain or other
elements. There are also many different types
of erosion such as water erosion, soil erosion,
wind erosion and ice erosion.

How does erosion Erosion can affect waterways. If erosion is
high, eroded particles will deposit in riverbeds

lots of places will be under water. Also, erosion
