What processes are involved in erosion?
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
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
