Erosion is the geological process by which soil, rock, and dissolved materials are removed from one location on the Earth’s surface and transported to another. It is the opposite of deposition, where materials settle and accumulate. Erosion shapes landscapes, carves valleys, and wears down mountains over time. Unlike weathering, which breaks down rock in place, erosion involves the movement of particles by natural forces such as wind, water, ice, and gravity.
