The wearing away of rock and the removal of weathered rock, soil, and other solid materials away from source.

The wearing away of rock and the removal of weathered debris and soil. Erosion typically occurs by the action of rivers, glaciers, waves, wind and even animals. Not to be confused with weathering, which is the breaking down of rock by chemical and physical processes.
