The document discusses various agents of erosion. It describes how water, in the form of surface water and groundwater, is the most powerful erosion agent and can create landforms like deltas and caves. Ice is also noted as a powerful erosion force, with moving glaciers carving valleys. Wind erosion predominantly impacts arid regions, changing rock shapes. Waves in coastal areas continuously erode old landforms and build new ones through marine processes. The document also notes that human activities now represent a significant force of erosion through construction, mining, and other land alterations.

6.  Water is the Most Powerful Agent of Erosion.
 Both Surface and Groundwater act as Agent of
Erosion.
 Groundwater creates underground surfaces like-
Caves.
 Water running on land surfaces creates land surfaces
like- Deltas.

8.  Ice is also a Powerful Agent of Erosion.
 A large mass of Moving Ice is called Glacier.
 When they move they carve their own valleys .i.e. U-
Shaped and V-Shaped valley.
 Like Rivers, Glacier break and carry away Rock
Fragments.

10.  Like ice and water, Wind too erodes,
transports and deposits rocks
materials.
 The Action of Wind is more prominent in
Arid and Semi-Arid regions.
 The flow of Wind can change the shape
and size of Rocks.

12.  In Coastal areas, Sea is constantly eroding old
landforms and creating new ones.
 The Marine Erosion is also a type of Wave Erosion.
 The Marine Erosion creates landforms such as- An
Arch, A Sea Cave, etc.

14.  Man is also responsible for erosions.
 Today man is the strongest agent of
erosion.
 We see several examples in our daily
life. Cutting mountains and big rock
bodies for road making, building
construction and to make farmland
etc.
 Mining for precious metals like gold,
silver, copper etc., precious minerals
like diamond, garnet etc and
construction material like marble,
granite etc is also done..
