Erosion is a natural process that changes the shape of the land over time. It happens when wind, water, or ice wear away rocks and soil. For example, rivers can carve out valleys, while waves can shape coastlines. Erosion is important because it helps create new landscapes but can also lead to problems like soil loss.
