Erosion

By JDN

Erosion is the taking away or removal of rock and soil by natural processes.  Through erosion the surface is always being changed into new forms.  There are many kinds of erosions but there are four main erosions; water erosion, glacial erosion, coastal erosion and wind erosion.  When erosion is occurring the shapes of the continents are constantly changing.
