Erosion is the process by which wind, water, ice or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another. There are several types of erosion: - Wave erosion occurs when waves crash against the shore and form features like sea stacks, sea arches, and sea caves by eroding away rock and mainland over time. - Wind erosion removes and transports soil, sand, and rock particles through processes like abrasion and deposition of materials like loess and in the formation of sand dunes. - Glacial erosion carves rugged landscapes and features like cirques and alpine valleys through the scraping and grinding action of glaciers moving over the land.
