What processes are involved in erosion?

Question

weathering which is moving the rock around

compaction which is moving the rock from place to place

deposition which is when eroded material is carried to another location

deposition which is compacting the rock

weathering which is breaking down rock

Answer 1

abrasion which is when rocks and materials scrape against each other and wear away

transportation which is the movement of eroded materials by wind, water, or ice

corrosion which is when chemical reactions cause the breakdown of rocks

freeze-thaw cycles which is when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands, causing the rock to break apart

biological processes such as plant roots growing into cracks in rocks and causing them to break apart

mass wasting which is the downward movement of rocks and materials due to gravity
