Answer:

Erosion is the process of something being eroded or something being worn away by a natural agent such as wind or water

Step-by-step explanation:

two examples are if there is a rock on a beach and ever day the water hit the rock over the next few years the rock will erode away

another one is caves, they are worn out rock and have this hole shape carved into them by wind and rain.

another one could be river banks

Answer:

As waves crash into land on the shore, the sand, rocks, cliffs or soil along the shoreline gets eroded. Increases in sediment in the water greatly amplifies the impact of coastal erosion. cracks in shoreline cliffs due to joint compression via wave action. waves pounding on rocky shoreline breaks off chunks of rock.

I hope this helps :)
