Answer:

Rainfall causes most of the erosion on Earth.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Erosion is a 'geological process' where the materials on Earth are worn away by the natural elements like water and wind.
  • Liquid water is the major element for erosion. Most erosion on the planet is caused by the glaciers(melting ice).
  • Rainfall too causes erosion when bits of sand and soil are slowly washing away the sediments.
  • There are 'four types' of rainfall erosion namely-Splash, Sheet, Gully and Rill erosion.
