Moving bits of rock and soil across the earth’s surface by water, wind, or glaciers. Erosion is the process by which the earth surface gets worn down.

Answer:

Erosion is the constant gnawing, erosion and degradation that occurs on the earth's surface. That is, when external geological forces, such as rivers, glaciers, flowing water, winds or waves, carry along and gnaw rock particles and move material from one location on the earth's surface to another.

The rate of erosion is influenced by climate, topography, the extent of vegetation cover and the properties of the loads. Deforestation and cultivation methods that change the soil structure, for example, make the soil harder so that it does not drain away water so quickly, can increase the erosion rate and cause major damage. It is estimated that 30-40 billion tonnes of land is eroded each year from the world's agricultural areas.
