Erosion is the removal of weathered materials from the surface of earth. It is one of the processes that sculpts the surface of the earth due to its unique earth moving capabilities.
Moving water is one of the most important agent that leads to erosion. As water moves, it carries materials in different form. It can be as bed load for sediments of large sizes, suspended load for medium and fine grains and as solution for solvable materials.
Ice and glaciers are prominent agent of erosion in polar and temperate regions. Glacier carries weathered materials by trapping them.
Humans and animals through their activities contributes significantly to erosion too.
