Definition:
Erosion is the process of weather breaking down the the environment. Wind, water, and rain are different ways that the environment can be broken down. Erosion is a natural process that happens around us every day, but sometimes takes millions of years to observe the repercussions. One example of a natural environment that has been eroded is the Grand Canyon.
