Erosion A narrow and somewhat limiting definition of erosion excludes the transport of eroded material by natural agencies, but the exclusion of the transport phenomenon makes the distinction between erosion and weathering very vague. Erosion, therefore, includes the transportation of eroded or weathered material from the point of degradation (such as the side of a mountain or other landform) but not the deposition of material at a new site.

Mountain In earth science, erosion is the action of exogenic processes (such as water flow or wind) which remove soil and rock from one location on the Earth's crust, then transport it to another location where it is deposited. Eroded sediment may be transported just a few millimetres, or for thousands of kilometres.

Erosion and Sedimentation Erosion and Sedimentation. Erosion in the context of soil and watershed conservation is the detachment and movement of soil particles by natural forces, primarily water and wind. More broadly, erosion is the process of wearing away rocks, geologic, and soil material via water, wind, or ice (e.g., glaciers).

EROSION Rocks are gradually broken down into smaller pieces by the wind, rain, snow, and frost. For example, when water freezes in rock cracks, the water expands, slowly widening the cracks and fracturing the rock. The fragments of weathered rock are then blown away by the wind or carried away by water in the form of streams and rivers, ice in glaciers, or waves pounding coasts.

The Definition of Weathering Updated February 28, 2017. Definition of Weathering: Weathering is the gradual destruction of rock under surface conditions, dissolving it, wearing it away or breaking it down into progressively smaller pieces. Think of the Grand Canyon or the red rock formations scattered across the American Southwest.

The old professor says erosion is defined as the moving or transport of weathered Earth materials by wind, water, ice, or gravity. Wind effects are called aeolian and produce objects called ventifacts.

The effects of erosion, earthquakes and volcanoes The sea shapes the coastal landscape. Coastal erosion is the wearing away and breaking up of rock along the coast. Destructive waves erode the coastline in a number of ways: 1  Hydraulic action. 2  Air may become trapped in joints and cracks on a cliff face. 3  When a wave breaks, the trapped air is compressed which weakens the cliff and causes erosion. 4  Abrasion.

- Erosion is the movement of the broken pieces away from the site of weathering. Basalt columns. For example, a basalt cliff may be weathered by freeze-thaw, a type of physical weathering.This means that pieces of the cliff may break away. Erosion happens when these pieces of rock fall away down the cliff. In the photograph you can see a basalt cliff.rosion is the movement of the broken pieces away from the site of weathering. Basalt columns. For example, a basalt cliff may be weathered by freeze-thaw, a type of physical weathering.
