Now that you have made you first post and read this link, how would you define erosion? Explain what happens during erosion and the various types. What is erosion?
Erosion is the process that breaks things down. As far as we're concerned, erosion is the breakdown of the the land around you. The overall effect of breaking down and weathering the land is called denudation. Denudation is the process of erosion. In nature, large things are broken down into smaller things. Mountains are rained on and become hills. The pieces of the mountain become smaller pieces. Weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction.
erosion is when things get broken down into smaller things for example when rain or an ocean touch and rub against rocks for a long time it turns into pebbles or sand
Erosion is really cool. Erosion is pretty much making hills and sand it make stuff become smaller. There are various types like Mechanical and Chemical those are both very cool. Mechanical is like hitting it with a hammer and chmical is like pouring acid over a rock both cool.
Erosion is the prosses that breaks things down. Its breaks down all the contents of land.The overall effect of breaking down and weathering the land is called denudation.Denudation is the process of erosion.Large things are broken down into smaller things. Boulders become sand and Mountains become hills. Erostion takes a long time to happen but makes big changes when it does.
Erosion is the process of breaking things down. Weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction. Mountains get rained on and become hills and the pieces of the mountain become smaller. Denudation is the overall effect of breaking down and weathering the land. An example of denudation is when it rains, the rain runs down a mountain and the rocks get washed away. Erosion happens at the top of mountains and under the soil.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down, it breaks down the continents and the land around us. During erosion larger things are broken down into smaller things, which then can be broken down into even smaller things. Like a mountian into a rock, and then a rock into sand. Water, wind, humans, or just about anything can cause erosion. Another term for erosion is 'denudation'.
erosion is the elements break down parts of the earth.denudation is the process of erosion. In nature large things are broken down into smaller things. for example boulders become sand,mountains get rained on and become hills.erosion always happens in a downhill direction.erosion happens at the tops of mountains and under the ground.water and chemicals get into the rocks and break them up.erosion in one area can actually build up lower areas.when a mountain erodes the river carries sediment downstream to the ocean.Then sediment builds up over time to make new wet lands.
Erosion is the process that breaks down any land mass, a mud slide is an example of Erosion, water is washing away trees and other holding materials to move dirt and cause everything to go down hill for the inhabitants, LITERALLY. Weathering is a type of erosin when weather causes the masses it is falling on to break down. Dedundation is the process, or events of erosion, mainly nature or some toxicity, but it weatheres anything. Mudslides are easy to compare with Erosion, but its happening everywhere, whenever you step on gravel, you roll them around, this is Erosion, when a river is hitting against an Island, thats Erosion, even right now, when it rains, it's causing erosion to dirt, rocks and buildings, we are even eroding the lands right now, everytime we take a step on the floor in RRMS, we take a little wax off the floor, basically nearly everything is causing EROSION.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down. During erosion, objects become smaller like a boulder into sand or a mountain into a hill. Erosion and weathering will always be in a downhill direction.Also erosion happens on top of things like mountains and under the soil. Erosion can also build things up in one area that is lower.
I agree with Abby, it takes some time for erosion to happen, but when it does happen you can really notice it, like the Grand Canyon, over the years and years of erosion the rock has been washed away and now there is so much shape to the canyon.
Erosion is when rock breaks down. Like when rock turns into sand or when moutains turn into hills. And to make the stuff smaller there is mechanical or chemical. By: Ted Young
I would difine erosion as the process of breaking things down into smaller peices. Its where the land is breaking down bit by bit. like when it rains and the water runs down a hill or a rock falls from its place on a mountian. but erosion takes place over a long period of time.
Megan: I didnt know until today that erosion happens on top of mountains. So now that we know about terosion happening on the top of mountains how do you think that canyons and valleys were made?
Erosion is the process that breaks things down slowly or sometimes quickly. Erosion is also the breakdown of land around us.The effect of breaking down and weathering the land is denudation, denudation is the process of erosion. there are two types of erosion. 1) Machanical 2)chemical Machanical is basicly breaking a rock with a hammer. Chemical is like putting acid on a rock and letting it desolve it.
i would define erosion the life cycle of a rock or landform. what happens during erosion is that the water is wearing a little bit of particles away. after a certian amount of time this could become a huge pile of sand. the various types of erosion are erosion . deep erosion and sedimentry all of these wear away at rocks and landforms
I agree with Sean, Mudslides are a very good example of erosion, when it rains and the water rushes down the mountian, taking rocks and trees and sand with it, causing the mountian or hill to have more shape or get smaller.
I agree with tony erosion is cool. i wish i could set up a video camera on a mountian and in a few years fast faward it super fast and see how the mountian changed.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down. Every day erosion happeneds to land. The breaking down affect is called weathering. Denuation is the process of erosion.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down.erosion is the breakdown of the continents and the land around you. Boulders become sand. Mountains are rained on and become hills. Weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down.During erosion things break down and go through weathering, which is called Denudation. Denudation is a process of erosion. Such as when a large things are broken down into smaller things. Boulders become sand. Mountains are rained on and become hills. Erosion can happen at the top of mountains and under the soil. Also Mass wasting can happen two ways. First mechanical, similar to breaking a rock with a hammer and then chemical, similar to pouring acid on a rock to dissolve it.
I think that is is cool that erosion can actually build things up in one area.I didnt know that. I always thought that erosion always turned large objects into smaller objects over a long peroid of time. Do you think it takes as long as erosion to break down objects then erosion to help build things up?
wow erosion took more than I thought and I didnt know people can be part of erosion.Denudation is the process in witch bigger things are made in to smaller things.Erosion is not only caused by water but by wind and two part of rock hiting together or rubing together.
Rachel i think Canyons and Valleys were made from either an iceberg carving through a hill or there was once a giant river flowing through them and weathering away the the rock.
It may LOOK cool that the land around us is getting smaller, but this would mean that most of the coastal states would become thinner each millenia, but thn again part of the dirt would hit the ocean floor, some would create islands, but there would have to be a base before the dirt arrives, probably a large volcanic rock, from an extinct volcano would work, or just a flooded area. But the Bayou's in Lousiana, it wouldn't last the next 1,000 years. So enjoy what you see now, the world is a mud ball and its going to go splat here soon.
I woyuld define erosion as breaking things down. During erosion wind, water, glaciers, land and ect. can wear things down or Erode them. The overall effect of breaking down and weathering the land is called denudation. Denudation is the process of erosion. Weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction. Things don't just disappear. The masses of dirt and rock are moved to another form and place. Scientists call it mass wasting. The wasting is the loss of matter in one place. Erosion in one area can actually build up lower areas. Ethan Mercurio
I agree with you Abby about how mountains can become hills. For example the grand cayon may one day because it use to be bigger but now it has eroded and changed from water and wind. Also i agree how erosion takes time. Grand cayon has been there a long, long time and there has been changes but its still huge. It would take a long to for erosion to change it completely.
Erosion is the process of breaking down into smaller opieces. I always think of it as 'rotting away'. Denudation is the process of erosion, it is when a mountain gets rained on and turns into a hill, or when a rock gets grinded into sand. Erosion can be caused by anything, but the main ways are water and/or wind.
Erosion- is the process that break things down. Breaks down the land around us.Denudation is the process of erosion. When EX: mountin breaks down it is now a rock, but when the rock breaks it will be a smaller rock or sand. Denudation is a process of erosion.I can be a part of a erosion of a moutain.If I see a rock, pull it out of a mountain. Then throw it down on the ground then i am part of the moutains erosion
YAHANZ VELASSQUEZ denudation is the break down of weathering. when rock gets rained on, it gradually gets smaller. erosion breaks pieces apart from its whole and then breaks that piece into smaller peices. when somthing breaks down it does not dissapear. this is called mass wasting. different colors on a rock describe what happened to it. when a mountain breaks down, sediment falls and the river carries the sediment to the ocean and that sediment creates new wetlands. YAHANZ VELASQUEZ
how would you define erosion? Explain what happens during erosion and the various types erosion is the prosses of breaking things down on its own by weather.durng a erosion large things are broken down into smaller things. Boulders become sand. Mountains are rained on and become hills. all in a downward direction. the two types of breaking down erosion,mechanical, similar to breaking a rock with a hammer the other one is chemical, similar to pouring acid on a rock to dissolve it.
i agree with sean in how mudslides are a good example of erosion because when it rains on a steep hill all of the mud is wet and runs along with the rain making a mud slide
Alexandra, Madison also said that when she hears erosion she thinks of something rotting away. Also, denudation is the process of erosion,good job, i like your example.
Thats is so true. It makes a huge difference in the world when thing erode. I wonder how the world would look if there was no erosion. Example: sand from the ocean, they are from mostly shells that was broken down but if there was no erosion how would the ocean look? there is even sand on the bottom of the ocean but what would be there if there was no sand?
erosion is the process in which land is broken down. the effect that erosion and weathering causes is called denudation. this is the process of erosion. large things are broken down into smaller ones in nature. a few examples would be mountains becoming hills, and boulders becoming sand. erosion and weathering are always in the downhill direction. the pieces of mountain become smaller and go down the sides of the mountain. Erosion is not hard to understand. if you were to say, take a rock from a mountain you are then part of the erosion of that mountain. this is because you have taken a large object, mmeaning the mountain, and have began to make smaller objects out of it, this meaning the rock. if you threw the rock on the ground it could break into smaller pieces of rock (sand). it does the same thing when it rains. the rain washes the rocks of a mountain down the side. soils get washed away aswell. if erosion is washing and rotting things away all the time where are they going? All of the rocks,and sand that are being weathered away don't just disappear off the earth. they are moved from one place to another. this is called, what scientists say to be mass wasting. Mass wasting is the loss of matter in one place. this can happen in two ways. one way is, mechanical weathering. This is similar to breaking a rock with a hammer. The other way is chemical weathering. this is basically the same as pouring acid on a rock to dissolve it. A great way to find out what is happening is to check the color of the rock. if it is weatehered by frost there will be no color change. but it was weathered by the ocean there should be one.
Deborah, I agree. Anyone can be a part of erosion in a mountian or a hill or something. Just by taking a small piece of it and letting it go can do a lot. It could cause the whole mountian to collapse, or to form a new small mountian from sand or small rocks. The thing i am wondering is that is erosion good, or bad for the earth??
erosion is the prosses of breaking things down on its own by weather.durng a erosion large things are broken down into smaller things. Boulders become sand. Mountains are rained on and become hills. all in a downward direction. the two types of breaking down erosion,mechanical, similar to breaking a rock with a hammer the other one is chemical, similar to pouring acid on a rock to dissolve it.
@ rachel i didn't know that erosion could actually build things up either. that's really interesting! i always thought that erosion took away things not build them up. It said in the first paragraph of the article that erosion was always downhill, so i didn't know that.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down. Erosion is all around you. The overall effect of breaking down and weathering the land is called denudation. Denudation is the procses of erosion. Bigger things are broken down into smaller things like rocks turning into dirt or sand. When it rains hills become mounds. The pieces of the mountain become smaller pieces become little hills. Weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction.
Erosion is the process of which things break down. The effect of all of this erosion and WEATHERING is called DENUDATION. "Denudation is the process of erosion. In nature, large things are broken down into smaller things. Boulders become sand. Mountains are rained on and become hills." As the article says.
Erosion is the prosses of breaking things down. The overall effect of breaking down and weathering the land is called denudation. Erosion and Weathering always happens in a downhill direction. An example of denudation is when rocks are washed down a mountain or down a stream, the ocean beats against a cliff and breaks it apart.
I would defind Erosion as the procces in witch brakeing down rock happens. Denuation is the procces of erosion, it makes Things smaller than what they were.
erosion is the process that breaks things down (wearing away).like for example niagra falls erods alot by all the water rushing and rubbing against the rock and wears it away over a pretty long period of time. Denutation is the process of erosion.in our world all around the country it happens when big things are broken down into smaller things over a period of time.erosion always happens in a downward direction. I think erosion is awesome i would love to learn alot about it.
Erosion is the breakdown of the continents and the land around you. Weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction. Mountains get rained on and become hills and the pieces of the mountain become smaller.Water, wind, humans, or almost anything can cause erosion.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down.Erosion is the breakdown of the continents and the land around you.In erosion big things break down to smaler things then even smaller things, like a mountain that turns into a hill from the rain. David Meiners
@Rachel, I thought it was cool too! I never actually thought it could build things, I thought they could just break them apart. I had no idea. & I think that it would take longer to build things up, only because it takes years for erosion to do a complete change so, it could take the same time, but I would think that it would take at least a little bit longer.
There are 2 types of erosion. Mechanical is similar to breaking a rock with a hammer and chemical,similar to pouring acid on a rock to disolve it. David Meiners
Erosion is a process that break things down.erosion is the breakdown of the continents and the land around us.The effect of breaking down and weathering the land is called denudation. denudation is the process of erosion. things dont just go away, the masses of dirt are moved to another place. there are two ways this could happen MECHANICAL,which is like useing a hammer or something. Or CHEMICAL,to pour an acid on to a rock and it just disovles away.
erosion breaks down rock and other things. erosion is the break down land around you. there are two types of erosion. chemical is one of them this type is like acid and other chemical that break down the rock for example lava. the other is mechanical is like breaking down with a hammer.
Erosion is large objects such as mountians and making smaller objects like rocks. Mechanical erosion is similar to breaking a rock down with a hammer and there is no color change. Chemical erosion is similar to pouring chemicals on a rock to dissolve it and there is a color change.
Erosion is when things break down into smaller things or wear away. Denudation is the process of erosion. There can be 2 types of erosion, mechanical and chemical. An example of mechanical erosion is breaking a rock with a hammer. An example of chemical erosion would be using acid to wear away at a rock. Deposition is when sediment is carried by a stream or by wind and is deposited to form new ground. Wetlands are a good example of this.

I agree with Deborah, I wonder what the world would be like without erosion; would there would be sand at the bottom of the ocean. I don't think there would be.
erison is water briaking up rocks with water like a moutin or rock by ocean if u look at it in a long tiome the color will change and it will form or get smaller christian bond
Erosion is the process that breaks things down to pecies. erosion is the breakdown of the continents and the land around you. The overall effect of breaking down land
@ Rachel Royer, canyons are made when a river wears away at land and makes a deep impression of itself. Valleys are made by having a softer, more erodeable material than the neighboring mountain(s) At least, I think this is how it happens. Posted by Sam Tendam
during erosion larger objects become smaller objects. huge mountians can become sand. water and wind ware down objects over time by carring sediment down hills or streams.there are two main types of erosion, mecanical like hitting the rock with a hammer and chemical like using chemical reaction between the rocks and other things
I think the same thing that I did before about erosion. It is the process of breaking things down. The effect of weathering is denudation, something I didn't know. It is hard to think that things as big as the continents were formed all because of erosion.
I would define erosion as the process of wearing down and breaking down rocks. what happpens during erosion is, rocks break down into smaller rocks such as sand. The overall effect of weathering is denudation, the process of erosion. Errosion is rain wearing a mountiand down into a hill. Erosion makes things smaller sometimes things ca be built up by this. -Michael Van Schoik
some other good examples of erosion are rivers lakes caves sterams canyons beaches and rings of coral in the ocean left after the island eroded into the water
Erosion- is where the rock or something is broken down. The overall effect is weathering and denudation. Mass wasting can happen 2 ways: Mechanical-similar to breaking a rock with a hammer. Chemical-similar to pouring acid on a rock to dissolve it.
Erosion is the process of breaking rocks and natural and unnatural objects down into little tiny peices. For example, a beach. The water crashes onto the rocks, making them smaller and smaller each and every time.
I would define erosion as the breaking of objecs. As the affect with weathering and erosion is mechanical. This is like a large hammer hitting aginst a peace of land.
Erosion is the process of breaking down rocks an example of this is: the grand canyon. Erosion breaks down the rocks and wheathering takes them away and forms mountains and bigger rocks.
An erosion is a big loud (Coolio) Boom with big giant rocks flying out of a volcaino and landing on the ground and making a crack in ther ground called an erosion!
erosion is the process of breaking things down like rocks and other things like if a rock is in a river and the river is washing up agaisnt it. the water will wear and tear the rock away. until there is a gaping hole in it or possibly the rock is nothing more like the grand canyon how after many many years the wind and water rushed through the grand canyon the were many signss of where the river went through and how big the river was.so you can see how erosion can turn big things into smaller versions of itself and if you throw a rock and break it. you are a part of its erosion because you are breaking the rock down into smaller pieces just like erosion would do.
i agree with anthoney PAPATHANAS Erosion is really cool. Erosion is pretty much making hills and sand it make stuff become smaller. i think its cool because things eroed every day and we barley know it.
Erosion is the process that breaks down. Breaking down and weathering the land is called denudation. Weathering and erosion always happens downhill deriction.

When it rains, the same process happens. Rocks are washed down a mountain or down a stream. Soils are washed away. The ocean beats against a cliff and breaks it apart. They are all examples of denudation.
Things don't just disappear. The masses of dirt and rock are moved to another form and place. A sure way to tell what is happening is to check the color of the rock.
Erosion happens at the tops of mountains and under the soil. Water and chemicals get into the rocks and break them up through those mechanical and chemical forces.
@Stephanie, I agree with you with you on the Erosion. Kylie
Erosion is the process that breaks things down. During erosion a large mass breaks down into smaller peices. The different types of erosion are Mechanical Chemical
Denudation is the process of erosion. An example is rain, when it rains water beats on rocks and breaks it into little rocks, or sand. It is when you take little things on off big object
How would I explain erosion? Well I would explain it like this: Erosion is a natural scientific cause that changes the earth with solid, liquid and gas. During erosion, the earth will shift in small ways. Weather it's something small like water in a stream to an avalanche, those things change the earth. Even rain after a while can wear away at some things and their shape will change.
Erosion: The process that breaks things down is erosion. Denudation is the process of erosion. When erosion happens the mountains are rained on and become hills, the boulders turn into sand or in other ways large objects become small objects. WEathering and erosion always work downhill. @Rachel Royer Did you just learn that? I just did i also put that Montains become hills, when i thought they just became rocks, can they become rocks and not be a mountain or hill at all?
Erosion is something of nature that breaks things down. They get worn away and things start to slide and get chipped of rocks and boulders and mountains and even canyons !

Erosion is the wearing away of objects. The Grand Canyon is a good example of erosion. The river at the bottom of the canyon has sliced its way through the rock causing a giant gap in return. There are two different types of erosion, chemical and mechanical. Chemical is similar to pouring acid on a rock to dissolve it. Mechanical is similar to breaking a rock with a hammer. -Kaleigh McCarthy
Erosion is a process that breaks things down. It breaks down the continents and the land around us. Denudation is the process of erosion. In nature large things are broken down into smaller things.
erosion is the process of breaking things down bit by bit it makes my think of the grand canyon and how mountains are formed.erosion is the breakdown of the continents and the land around us.it sounds like that is how the continents were made. like in Asia it must of had alittle erosion because the continent is so big. and in audtralia it must of had a big erosion to make its island.
The peices of the mountain become smaller peices.Erosion is the process that breaks things down. When mountains are raind on they will turn into hills later.
It makes sense that Erosion occurs downhill, it would be a little hard for something to fall off a mountain and go up because of the gravity! I think it's really cool how the color of the rock tells you how the rock eroded.
After reding the article I can notice that if you drop a rock of a moutain you are part of erosion. I also know thtwhater can help erode seddlements. And another thing that I learned is that erosion usally happens when there is a downward slope.That is what i learned from this article. Nick Aichele
I agree with you Megan Sheridan. mountains do get rained on and they make hills, ehich makes the, mountain get smaller and smaller. great job megan :-)
i know that erosion is the proscess that breaks things down.and dedundent is the proscess of erosion. in erosion small things are broken down into smaller things like moutians are rained on and become hills.erosion and weathering always happen in a downhill direction.
I would define erosion as the process of breaking things down. What happens during erosion are objects such as mountians get worn away into smaller objects such as rocks. Types of erosion are weathering, denudation, mechanical and chemical.
Before we learned about erosion I didn't know that every time it rains some of the land could be washed away and then used to build up something like a swamp or wetland. What do you think about that? -Kaleigh McCarthy
Erosion is the process of breaking objects down. Somtimes erosion will carve out deep canyons and sometimes wind will wear away at rock. Denudation is the process of large objects are broken down into smaller objects.
The moving of sediment into a new form or place. Erosion is when a rock has bits being removed and moving to a new place like mechanicaly to throw a rock and it shattering or a rock having acid poured on it.
@ Kamilah Williams That is a good point that some places must have more erosion because of its size. Do you think that it might effect how old it is? For example, the older it is, the more erosion it has.
Erosion breaks things down. and breaks down of continents and land. The breaking down and wheathering is called denudation. Denudation is the process of erosion. When mountains are rained of they become hills. The peices of the mountain becomes smaller and go down the sides of the hill. Jennifer Somtrakool
erosion is the break down of continents and also mountains i used to think that erosion was a volcano erupting. Would this be related to plate techtonics?Nathan stenger
Erosion is taking something away or building something up, but the actual definition is the process that breaks things down. There are two types of erosion, chemical and machanical. One is like taking a hammer to a rock another is chemicals under the soil mixing with the rock and dissolving the rock from the bottom. Erosion is always happening in a downhill direction. For example, when we drove through the mountains going to Gatlinburg I noticed the nets on the mountains to keep the rocks from falling onto the road because of the erosion. Has anyone else seen those nets on the highway?
Erosion is when rocks wheres away, when a river takes it down a stream, when you drop it and it has a crack in it or breaks and turns into sand. My defintion for erosion is when a rock gets dropped and gets a crack in it or shatters and turns into sand.
I Agree with you because erosion takes a long time to happen but makes big changes. Erosion does make big change. Like for example erosion built the grand canyon, see erosion makes big changes.
i would say erosion is when things break down and causes weathering and denudation. big things are broken down into smaller things, like boulders are made into sand, it rains on mountains and the mountains become hills then the peices become smaller and go down the sides of the mountains. weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction.
I disagree with Abby, erosion doesn't take a long time to happen. Erosion breaks things down little by little but we don't always notice the little changes. We normally don't notice that things are eroding until a long period of time, when the erosion has a big impact on the things being eroded.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down. During erosion objects become smaller like a boulder into sand or a mountain in to a hill. Erosion is always in a downhill direction.
@ Drew Vaive: Yeah that's kind of how I would describe it too. Like it starts out new, and then after a while, weather wheres it down. Then it's so small, that it just doesn't exsist any more!
I think it is interesting how we erosion takes place. I think it allows us to see that masses have an effect on each other. I would define erosion as the process that breaks things down and the breakdown of land around us. Denudation is the process of erosion. When masses are broken down into smaller pieces and two masses have friction against each other it has a lasting effect on the masses. Weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction. The dirt and rock that are worn away move to a different place. Scientists call it mass wasting. Wasting is the loss of matter in one place. This can happen is two different ways. One way is mechanical and it is like breaking a rock with a hammer. Another way is chemical and it is like pouring acid on a rock to dissolve it. Scients use a method called surefire to check the color of the rock. If there is color, chemical may be taking place. If there is no color, it may be mechanical.
I had no clue Erosion could build things up either! I think it is really interesting how smaller masses can build up to larger things. I guess when the mass that is worn away is taken to a different place all the mass that is there builds up to be a bigger mass.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down. Erosion is the breaking down of the contenents and the land. Large things are broken down so they are smaller in nature that is.
Erosion is the process of breaking things down also it is the brakdown of land and contents around us. During erosion large things are broken down for example boulders become sand and mountains become hills. Wind, water and humans can cause erosion.
erosion breaks down thing like the grand canyon erosion shaped the land. earosion takes big things and breaks them down into little things. taylor roberts
Erosion is the process of breaking things down. For example, rain takes a chunck of a moutain and makes it roll down. Another example of erosion would be if the chunk that fell down broke into smaller chunks or became sand.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down. During the process of erosion it breaks down rocks by weathering. This combonation is called denudation. that would be so cool to see all of this happen in a matter of 30 secionds.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down.erosion is the breakdown of rocks, mountains and the land around us. think of a beach with no sand. erosion is the maker of sand wind and water breaks down rocks to produce sand. canyons and hills are also creations of sand.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down.Erosion is the breakdown of the the land near you. The effect of breaking down and weathering the land is called denudation. Denudation is the process of erosion.large things are broken down into smaller things. Mountains are rained on and become hills. The pieces of the mountain become smaller pieces. Weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction.
erosion is when the rock is worn away by other rock, water or wind. a perfect example of water erosion is the grand canyon. it took millions of years to form it and it will probably eep wearing away until the river stops flowing. if you go to arizona, statue like rocks have holes through the middle. thats wind erosion. the thiner rock is worn away faster than the thicker part of the rock. rock and rock erosion i think is kinda like granite. its a bunch of little rocks all packed togethor to form a beutiful sparkly rock.
Erosion is the process in which bitts of earth are slowly moved by wind or water across land usually taking away parts of mountains and moving the pieces to wetlands or plains to start building up land there which takes a long time for this process. I already knew before I started about erosion.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down. As far as we're concerned, erosion is the breakdown of the continents and the land around you. The overall effect of breaking down and weathering the land is called denudation. Denudation is the process of erosion. In nature, large things are broken down into smaller things.

Erosion is a process of things breaking down and turning to sand or dust. It is weathering down the earth and land this make diches, holes, for exsample is you have to rock and rub them together for years they will turn to pebbles like sand since you wore them away
The natural processes with natural material like the weather,water, and wind causing earthly or rocky material. That causes things to break down into smaller material.
Erosion is the process of a minaral being broken down and smoothened. there are two types of erosion, wind and water. Wind is just like a sand blaster being fired at a rock but, much slower. Water erosion created the grand canyon.

erosion is when things get broken down into smaller things for example when rain or an ocean touch and rub against rocks for a long time it turns into pebbles or sand
Erosion is really cool. Erosion is pretty much making hills and sand it make stuff become smaller. There are various types like Mechanical and Chemical those are both very cool.
Mechanical is like hitting it with a hammer and chmical is like pouring acid over a rock both cool.
Denudation is a good vocabulary word, but not one that we will use in our discussion of erosion and deposition.
yes i agree with kaleb ersion is the prosess of stoff rolling down hill
Erosion is the prosses that breaks things down. Its breaks down all the contents of land.The overall effect of breaking down and weathering the land is called denudation.Denudation is the process of erosion.Large things are broken down into smaller things. Boulders become sand and Mountains become hills. Erostion takes a long time to happen but makes big changes when it does.
Erosion is the process of breaking things down. Weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction. Mountains get rained on and become hills and the pieces of the mountain become smaller. Denudation is the overall effect of breaking down and weathering the land. An example of denudation is when it rains, the rain runs down a mountain and the rocks get washed away. Erosion happens at the top of mountains and under the soil.
I also agree with kaleb what erosion is just breakdown of compounds around us. Is effects the continents and canyons the most.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down, it breaks down the continents and the land around us. During erosion larger things are broken down into smaller things, which then can be broken down into even smaller things. Like a mountian into a rock, and then a rock into sand. Water, wind, humans, or just about anything can cause erosion. Another term for erosion is 'denudation'.
i also agree with sahne all it is the breakdown of big things to smaller things.
erosion is the elements break down parts of the earth.denudation is the process of erosion. In nature large things are broken down into smaller things. for example boulders become sand,mountains get rained on and become hills.erosion always happens in a downhill direction.erosion happens at the tops of mountains and under the ground.water and chemicals get into the rocks and break them up.erosion in one area can actually build up lower areas.when a mountain erodes the river carries sediment downstream to the ocean.Then sediment builds up over time to make new wet lands.
Adam Lyons
Erosion is the process that breaks down any land mass, a mud slide is an example of Erosion, water is washing away trees and other holding materials to move dirt and cause everything to go down hill for the inhabitants, LITERALLY. Weathering is a type of erosin when weather causes the masses it is falling on to break down. Dedundation is the process, or events of erosion, mainly nature or some toxicity, but it weatheres anything. Mudslides are easy to compare with Erosion, but its happening everywhere, whenever you step on gravel, you roll them around, this is Erosion, when a river is hitting against an Island, thats Erosion, even right now, when it rains, it's causing erosion to dirt, rocks and buildings, we are even eroding the lands right now, everytime we take a step on the floor in RRMS, we take a little wax off the floor, basically nearly everything is causing EROSION.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down.
During erosion, objects become smaller like a boulder into sand or a mountain into a hill.
Erosion and weathering will always be in a downhill direction.Also erosion happens on top of things like mountains and under the soil.
Erosion can also build things up in one area that is lower.
I agree with Abby, it takes some time for erosion to happen, but when it does happen you can really notice it, like the Grand Canyon, over the years and years of erosion the rock has been washed away and now there is so much shape to the canyon.
Erosion is when rock breaks down. Like when rock turns into sand or when moutains turn into hills. And to make the stuff smaller there is mechanical or chemical.
By: Ted Young
I would difine erosion as the process of breaking things down into smaller peices. Its where the land is breaking down bit by bit. like when it rains and the water runs down a hill or a rock falls from its place on a mountian. but erosion takes place over a long period of time.
Megan:
I didnt know until today that erosion happens on top of mountains.
So now that we know about terosion happening on the top of mountains how do you think that canyons and valleys were made?
Erosion is the process that breaks things down slowly or sometimes quickly. Erosion is also the breakdown of land around us.The effect of breaking down and weathering the land is denudation, denudation is the process of erosion. there are two types of erosion. 1) Machanical 2)chemical
Machanical is basicly breaking a rock with a hammer.
Chemical is like putting acid on a rock and letting it desolve it.
I agree with alex its cool that land around us is getting smaller.
By: Ted young.
i would define erosion the life cycle of a rock or landform. what happens during erosion is that the water is wearing a little bit of particles away. after a certian amount of time this could become a huge pile of sand. the various types of erosion are erosion . deep erosion and sedimentry all of these wear away at rocks and landforms
I agree with Sean,
Mudslides are a very good example of erosion, when it rains and the water rushes down the mountian, taking rocks and trees and sand with it, causing the mountian or hill to have more shape or get smaller.
I agree with tony erosion is cool. i wish i could set up a video camera on a mountian and in a few years fast faward it super fast and see how the mountian changed.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down. Every day erosion happeneds to land. The breaking down affect is called weathering. Denuation is the process of erosion.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down.erosion is the breakdown of the continents and the land around you. Boulders become sand. Mountains are rained on and become hills. Weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction.
i dissagree with tony did you read the whole article theres a whole section called can erosion bulid things up
Erosion is the process that breaks things down.During erosion things break down and go through weathering, which is called Denudation. Denudation is a process of erosion. Such as when a large things are broken down into smaller things. Boulders become sand. Mountains are rained on and become hills. Erosion can happen at the top of mountains and under the soil. Also Mass wasting can happen two ways. First mechanical, similar to breaking a rock with a hammer and then chemical, similar to pouring acid on a rock to dissolve it.
I think that is is cool that erosion can actually build things up in one area.I didnt know that.
I always thought that erosion always turned large objects into smaller objects over a long peroid of time.
Do you think it takes as long as erosion to break down objects then erosion to help build things up?
wow erosion took more than I thought and I didnt know people can be part of erosion.Denudation is the process in witch bigger things are made in to smaller things.Erosion is not only caused by water but by wind and two part of rock hiting together or rubing together.
i agree with rachel i never new that either that erosion can build up in one area that is soo cool
Rachel
i think Canyons and Valleys were made from either an iceberg carving through a hill or there was once a giant river flowing through them and weathering away the the rock.
It may LOOK cool that the land around us is getting smaller, but this would mean that most of the coastal states would become thinner each millenia, but thn again part of the dirt would hit the ocean floor, some would create islands, but there would have to be a base before the dirt arrives, probably a large volcanic rock, from an extinct volcano would work, or just a flooded area. But the Bayou's in Lousiana, it wouldn't last the next 1,000 years. So enjoy what you see now, the world is a mud ball and its going to go splat here soon.
I woyuld define erosion as breaking things down. During erosion wind, water, glaciers, land and ect. can wear things down or Erode them. The overall effect of breaking down and weathering the land is called denudation. Denudation is the process of erosion. Weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction. Things don't just disappear. The masses of dirt and rock are moved to another form and place. Scientists call it mass wasting. The wasting is the loss of matter in one place. Erosion in one area can actually build up lower areas.
Ethan Mercurio
I agree with you Abby about how mountains can become hills. For example the grand cayon may one day because it use to be bigger but now it has eroded and changed from water and wind. Also i agree how erosion takes time. Grand cayon has been there a long, long time and there has been changes but its still huge. It would take a long to for erosion to change it completely.
Erosion is the process of breaking down into smaller opieces. I always think of it as 'rotting away'. Denudation is the process of erosion, it is when a mountain gets rained on and turns into a hill, or when a rock gets grinded into sand. Erosion can be caused by anything, but the main ways are water and/or wind.
Madison,
I like your example of erosion.
Also, denudation happens during erosion.
Erosion- is the process that break things down. Breaks down the land around us.Denudation is the process of erosion. When EX: mountin breaks down it is now a rock, but when the rock breaks it will be a smaller rock or sand. Denudation is a process of erosion.I can be a part of a erosion of a moutain.If I see a rock, pull it out of a mountain. Then throw it down on the ground then i am part of the moutains erosion
YAHANZ VELASSQUEZ denudation is the break down of weathering. when rock gets rained on, it gradually gets smaller.
erosion breaks pieces apart from its whole and then breaks that piece into smaller peices.
when somthing breaks down it does not dissapear. this is called mass wasting.
different colors on a rock describe what happened to it.
when a mountain breaks down, sediment falls and the river carries the sediment to the ocean and that sediment creates new wetlands.
YAHANZ VELASQUEZ
I agree with Madison and Abby it take a while to happen but when Erosion does happen you can really notice.
Ethan Mercurio
how would you define erosion? Explain what happens during erosion and the various types
erosion is the prosses of breaking things down on its own by weather.durng a erosion large things are broken down into smaller things. Boulders become sand. Mountains are rained on and become hills. all in a downward direction. the two types of breaking down erosion,mechanical, similar to breaking a rock with a hammer the other one is chemical, similar to pouring acid on a rock to dissolve it.
i agree with sean in how mudslides are a good example of erosion because when it rains on a steep hill all of the mud is wet and runs along with the rain making a mud slide
Kaleb, I did not pick up on the erosion happens in a downhill direction, but that is absolutly true!
Alexandra,
Madison also said that when she hears erosion she thinks of something rotting away. Also, denudation is the process of erosion,good job, i like your example.
Sydney, I like you r example of erosion, and I don't wuite understand the types of erosion? can anyone help me?
i agree with ethan and that erosion happens downhill and that erosion is the breaking down on objects.
YAHANZ VELASQUEZ
@abby
Thats is so true. It makes a huge difference in the world when thing erode. I wonder how the world would look if there was no erosion. Example: sand from the ocean, they are from mostly shells that was broken down but if there was no erosion how would the ocean look? there is even sand on the bottom of the ocean but what would be there if there was no sand?
kaleb i pretty much said the same thing as you and shane did you copy word for word.
erosion is the process in which land is broken down. the effect that erosion and weathering causes is called denudation. this is the process of erosion. large things are broken down into smaller ones in nature. a few examples would be mountains becoming hills, and boulders becoming sand. erosion and weathering are always in the downhill direction. the pieces of mountain become smaller and go down the sides of the mountain.
Erosion is not hard to understand. if you were to say, take a rock from a mountain you are then part of the erosion of that mountain. this is because you have taken a large object, mmeaning the mountain, and have began to make smaller objects out of it, this meaning the rock. if you threw the rock on the ground it could break into smaller pieces of rock (sand). it does the same thing when it rains. the rain washes the rocks of a mountain down the side. soils get washed away aswell. if erosion is washing and rotting things away all the time where are they going?
All of the rocks,and sand that are being weathered away don't just disappear off the earth. they are moved from one place to another. this is called, what scientists say to be mass wasting. Mass wasting is the loss of matter in one place. this can happen in two ways. one way is, mechanical weathering. This is similar to breaking a rock with a hammer. The other way is chemical weathering. this is basically the same as pouring acid on a rock to dissolve it.
A great way to find out what is happening is to check the color of the rock. if it is weatehered by frost there will be no color change. but it was weathered by the ocean there should be one.
Deborah, I agree. Anyone can be a part of erosion in a mountian or a hill or something. Just by taking a small piece of it and letting it go can do a lot. It could cause the whole mountian to collapse, or to form a new small mountian from sand or small rocks. The thing i am wondering is that is erosion good, or bad for the earth??
i agree with anthony because i think that mechanical and chemical

~Daniel O'Hearn~
Mudslides are a good examples of erosion. Just as when water runs down a side of a mountian. This is slowly breaking down the mountain.
@ rachel
i didn't know that erosion could actually build things up either. that's really interesting! i always thought that erosion took away things not build them up. It said in the first paragraph of the article that erosion was always downhill, so i didn't know that.
i like alex's post. and i think its cool that land are getting smaller.
~Daniel O'Hearn~
Erosion is the process that breaks things down. Erosion is all around you. The overall effect of breaking down and weathering the land is called denudation. Denudation is the procses of erosion. Bigger things are broken down into smaller things like rocks turning into dirt or sand. When it rains hills become mounds. The pieces of the mountain become smaller pieces become little hills. Weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction.
Erosion is the process of which things break down. The effect of all of this erosion and WEATHERING is called DENUDATION. "Denudation is the process of erosion. In nature, large things are broken down into smaller things. Boulders become sand. Mountains are rained on and become hills." As the article says.
Erosion is the prosses of breaking things down. The overall effect of breaking down and weathering the land is called denudation. Erosion and Weathering always happens in a downhill direction. An example of denudation is when rocks are washed down a mountain or down a stream, the ocean beats against a cliff and breaks it apart.
-Corissa Sturm,(:
Erosion is when wind,cars,animals,and people,hit or,grind agenst items. Erosion breaks down rocks, and mts.
I would defind Erosion as the procces in witch brakeing down rock happens. Denuation is the procces of erosion, it makes Things smaller than what they were.
erosion is the process that breaks things down (wearing away).like for example niagra falls erods alot by all the water rushing and rubbing against the rock and wears it away over a pretty long period of time. Denutation is the process of erosion.in our world all around the country it happens when big things are broken down into smaller things over a period of time.erosion always happens in a downward direction. I think erosion is awesome i would love to learn alot about it.
hunter steimle
Erosion is the breakdown of the continents and the land around you.
Weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction. Mountains get rained on and become hills and the pieces of the mountain become smaller.Water, wind, humans, or almost anything can cause erosion.
erosion is the process of eroding or the condition of being eroded
jr miller
Erosion is the process that breaks things down.Erosion is the breakdown of the continents and the land around you.In erosion big things break down to smaler things then even smaller things, like a mountain that turns into a hill from the rain.
David Meiners
I agree with Stephanie Erosion is the procces of when things are broken down into smaller peices.
@Rachel,
I thought it was cool too! I never actually thought it could build things, I thought they could just break them apart. I had no idea.
& I think that it would take longer to build things up, only because it takes years for erosion to do a complete change so, it could take the same time, but I would think that it would take at least a little bit longer.
-Corissa Sturm,(:
@Rachel, @ Hailey
I didn't know that erosion could actually build things up either. I find it really cool.
rachel, i agree with you and haily that is very interesting that erosion can build up things i also thought that it can only wear away things.
(:hunter steimle:)
There are 2 types of erosion.
Mechanical is similar to breaking a rock with a hammer and chemical,similar to pouring acid on a rock to disolve it.
David Meiners
Erosion is a process that break things down.erosion is the breakdown of the continents and the land around us.The effect of breaking down and weathering the land is called denudation. denudation is the process of erosion. things dont just go away, the masses of dirt are moved to another place. there are two ways this could happen MECHANICAL,which is like useing a hammer or something. Or CHEMICAL,to pour an acid on to a rock and it just disovles away.
~Kailey Carter~
erosion breaks down rock and other things. erosion is the break down land around you. there are two types of erosion. chemical is one of them this type is like acid and other chemical that break down the rock for example lava. the other is mechanical is like breaking down with a hammer.
Kelly Rogers
Erosion is large objects such as mountians and making smaller objects like rocks. Mechanical erosion is similar to breaking a rock down with a hammer and there is no color change. Chemical erosion is similar to pouring chemicals on a rock to dissolve it and there is a color change.
Kaleb i agrre with you that erosion is the process that breaks thimgs down because erosion rubs on surfeces and takes peices off.
David Meiners
Kaleb i agrre with you that erosion is the process that breaks thimgs down because erosion rubs on surfeces and takes peices off.
David Meiners
I agree with George Erosion is all around us everywhere we are there is erosion.
~Kailey Carter~
i agree with kaleb large things are briken down into small thigs by nature. and about weathering and erosion happen in a down hill direction.
Kelly Rogers
Erosion is when things break down into smaller things or wear away. Denudation is the process of erosion. There can be 2 types of erosion, mechanical and chemical. An example of mechanical erosion is breaking a rock with a hammer. An example of chemical erosion would be using acid to wear away at a rock. Deposition is when sediment is carried by a stream or by wind and is deposited to form new ground. Wetlands are a good example of this.

I agree with Deborah, I wonder what the world would be like without erosion; would there would be sand at the bottom of the ocean. I don't think there would be.
erison is water briaking up rocks with water like a moutin or rock by ocean if u look at it in a long tiome the color will change and it will form or get smaller christian bond
I think that erosion is the process of breaking things down like rocks.Because as rocks get older they get all crusty and pointy and rough.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down to pecies. erosion is the breakdown of the continents and the land around you. The overall effect of breaking down land
i agree with you kaleb erosion breaks things down
@ Rachel Royer,
canyons are made when a river wears away at land and makes a deep impression of itself. Valleys are made by having a softer, more erodeable material than the neighboring mountain(s) At least, I think this is how it happens.
Posted by Sam Tendam
I agree with Kaleb Quinlan.Erosion breaks things down like rocks and land.
@ kaleb quinlin yes i agree with him it is breaking down the land around you and big things break down into smaller things christian bond
during erosion larger objects become smaller objects. huge mountians can become sand. water and wind ware down objects over time by carring sediment down hills or streams.there are two main types of erosion, mecanical like hitting the rock with a hammer and chemical like using chemical reaction between the rocks and other things
@ Brady Farmer,
rocks do not erode because they get old, crusty, and rough. They erode because water or wind wears away at them.
Posted by Sam Tendam
I think the same thing that I did before about erosion. It is the process of breaking things down. The effect of weathering is denudation, something I didn't know. It is hard to think that things as big as the continents were formed all because of erosion.
I would define erosion as the process of wearing down and breaking down rocks. what happpens during erosion is, rocks break down into smaller rocks such as sand. The overall effect of weathering is denudation, the process of erosion. Errosion is rain wearing a mountiand down into a hill. Erosion makes things smaller sometimes things ca be built up by this.
-Michael Van Schoik
Once again Anthony I agree with you, erosion is cool and it is rather easy to understand.
- Michael Van Schoik
some other good examples of erosion are rivers lakes caves sterams canyons beaches and rings of coral in the ocean left after the island eroded into the water
sheehan candi
Erosion- is where the rock or something is broken down. The overall effect is weathering and denudation. Mass wasting can happen 2 ways:
Mechanical-similar to breaking a rock with a hammer.
Chemical-similar to pouring acid on a rock to dissolve it.
I agree with Kaleb Quinlan:
I did right that the same way, but a little differently, Check It Out!!!!!
Erosion is the process of breaking rocks and natural and unnatural objects down into little tiny peices. For example, a beach. The water crashes onto the rocks, making them smaller and smaller each and every time.
Amanda: I saw your comment and loved it because I didn't know that there was two different ways of erosion. Thanks for the great information. :)
I would define erosion as the breaking of objecs. As the affect with weathering and erosion is mechanical. This is like a large hammer hitting aginst a peace of land.
Erosion is the process of breaking down rocks an example of this is: the grand canyon. Erosion breaks down the rocks and wheathering takes them away and forms mountains and bigger rocks.
An erosion is a big loud (Coolio) Boom with big giant rocks flying out of a volcaino and landing on the ground and making a crack in ther ground called an erosion!
<3 Abbey <3
erosion is the process of breaking things down like rocks and other things like if a rock is in a river and the river is washing up agaisnt it. the water will wear and tear the rock away. until there is a gaping hole in it or possibly the rock is nothing more like the grand canyon how after many many years the wind and water rushed through the grand canyon the were many signss of where the river went through and how big the river was.so you can see how erosion can turn big things into smaller versions of itself and if you throw a rock and break it. you are a part of its erosion because you are breaking the rock down into smaller pieces just like erosion would do.
-Dylan Humbert
I agree with anthony P. erosion IS cool it really makes you think about the things that go on around you about how everything is conatantly changing.
i think that is a very unice way of putting it anthony how a mechanic is hitting it with a hammer i agree with you
-Dylan Humbert
wearing away at rocks ussaly involes water and the rocks are slowly woren away by water and wind.
i agree with anthoney PAPATHANAS Erosion is really cool. Erosion is pretty much making hills and sand it make stuff become smaller. i think its cool because things eroed every day and we barley know it.
Erosion is the process that breaks down. Breaking down and weathering the land is called denudation. Weathering and erosion always happens downhill deriction.

Things don't just disappear. The masses of dirt and rock are moved to another form and place.
A sure way to tell what is happening is to check the color of the rock.
Erosion happens at the tops of mountains and under the soil. Water and chemicals get into the rocks and break them up through those mechanical and chemical forces.
@Stephanie,
I agree with you with you on the Erosion.
Kylie
I agree with you anthony and how mechanical is like a great big hammer. And how erosion is really cool.
Alex Richmond
To Caleb: Do you think erosion is cool?
Erosion is the process that breaks things down. During erosion a large mass breaks down into smaller peices.
The different types of erosion are
Mechanical
Chemical
a process of breaking things down to the surface it can be changed by wind and water.
Sawyer:
What do you mean by a process? Do you mean erosion????
-Emily Heckman
Denudation is the process of erosion. An example is rain, when it rains water beats on rocks and breaks it into little rocks, or sand. It is when you take little things on off big object
~Charlie Freudemann~
How would I explain erosion? Well I would explain it like this: Erosion is a natural scientific cause that changes the earth with solid, liquid and gas.
During erosion, the earth will shift in small ways. Weather it's something small like water in a stream to an avalanche, those things change the earth. Even rain after a while can wear away at some things and their shape will change.
Erosion: The process that breaks things down is erosion. Denudation is the process of erosion. When erosion happens the mountains are rained on and become hills, the boulders turn into sand or in other ways large objects become small objects. WEathering and erosion always work downhill.
@Rachel Royer
Did you just learn that? I just did i also put that Montains become hills, when i thought they just became rocks, can they become rocks and not be a mountain or hill at all?
@ kyle lemmick
Yes, erosion is what breaks down rocks, but I am not sure if weathering is moving the bits of material to different places.
Denudation (the fancy word they used for erosion) is the process of wearing down on objects. The 2 types of erosion are mechanical and chemical.
Erosion is something of nature that breaks things down. They get worn away and things start to slide and get chipped of rocks and boulders and mountains and even canyons !
Erosion is the process that breaks things down. As far as we're concerned, erosion is the breakdown of the continents and the land around you.The overall effect of breaking down and weathering the land is called denudation. Denudation is the process of erosion. In nature, large things are broken down into smaller things. Mountains are rained on and become hills. The pieces of the mountain become smaller pieces. Weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction.
I agree with Caleb Quinlan because we almost gave the same material but I was talking about nature and he is just giving basic info on erosion.
i agree with anothy its the break down of bigs thiungs to small things.
Erosion is the wearing away of objects. The Grand Canyon is a good example of erosion. The river at the bottom of the canyon has sliced its way through the rock causing a giant gap in return. There are two different types of erosion, chemical and mechanical. Chemical is similar to pouring acid on a rock to dissolve it. Mechanical is similar to breaking a rock with a hammer.
-Kaleigh McCarthy
Erosion is a process that breaks things down. It breaks down the continents and the land around us.
Denudation is the process of erosion. In nature large things are broken down into smaller things.
erosion is the process of breaking things down bit by bit it makes my think of the grand canyon and how mountains are formed.erosion is the breakdown of the continents and the land around us.it sounds like that is how the continents were made. like in Asia it must of had alittle erosion because the continent is so big. and in audtralia it must of had a big erosion to make its island.
The peices of the mountain become smaller peices.Erosion is the process that breaks things down. When mountains are raind on they will turn into hills later.
kristan dalton
It makes sense that Erosion occurs downhill, it would be a little hard for something to fall off a mountain and go up because of the gravity! I think it's really cool how the color of the rock tells you how the rock eroded.
Erosion is were and tear basicly. There is wind erosion water erosion and genetical erosions.
After reding the article I can notice that if you drop a rock of a moutain you are part of erosion. I also know thtwhater can help erode seddlements. And another thing that I learned is that erosion usally happens when there is a downward slope.That is what i learned from this article.
Nick Aichele
Iagree with stephanie. When water runs past rocks it causes erosion. But alond with water, air and other rocks can cause erosion.
Nick Aichele
I agree with you Megan Sheridan. mountains do get rained on and they make hills, ehich makes the, mountain get smaller and smaller. great job megan :-)
i know that erosion is the proscess that breaks things down.and dedundent is the proscess of erosion. in erosion small things are broken down into smaller things like moutians are rained on and become hills.erosion and weathering always happen in a downhill direction.
@ Sara Dirr
I didn't think that almost everything happens don hill.
I would define erosion as the process of breaking things down. What happens during erosion are objects such as mountians get worn away into smaller objects such as rocks. Types of erosion are weathering, denudation, mechanical and chemical.
To: Kylie Hayes
Before we learned about erosion I didn't know that every time it rains some of the land could be washed away and then used to build up something like a swamp or wetland. What do you think about that?
-Kaleigh McCarthy
What happens in a erosion Is that rock were away from mudslides,rain,lighting.
Andrew Hudson
Erosion is the process of breaking objects down. Somtimes erosion will carve out deep canyons and sometimes wind will wear away at rock. Denudation is the process of large objects are broken down into smaller objects.
The moving of sediment into a new form or place. Erosion is when a rock has bits being removed and moving to a new place like mechanicaly to throw a rock and it shattering or a rock having acid poured on it.
i agree with Kaleb that erosion breaks away land around.
Andrew Hudson
@ Kamilah Williams
That is a good point that some places must have more erosion because of its size. Do you think that it might effect how old it is? For example, the older it is, the more erosion it has.
Erosion breaks things down. and breaks down of continents and land. The breaking down and wheathering is called denudation.
Denudation is the process of erosion. When mountains are rained of they become hills. The peices of the mountain becomes smaller and go down the sides of the hill.
Jennifer Somtrakool
erosion is the break down of continents and also mountains i used to think that erosion was a volcano erupting. Would this be related to plate techtonics?Nathan stenger
kaleb quinlan,
i agree with you that the pieces become smaller and erosion always happen going down hill.
kristan dalton
@ Ian Mushrush
I agree erosion reminds me of wear and tear.
@ Megan Sheridan, Yes the process of erosion is breaking things down that is the main thing that erosion does. Jennifer Somtrakool
to tony i didnt no that there was different kinds of erosion NATHAN STENGER
@ Kaleb
I agree with your statment all the way isn't it amazing kow something so ordinary can be so facinating
i agree with stephnie becausewhen water hits rocks ithnk they do turn into pebbles
O. i didn't know that erosion was cuased more than wind water.

Erosion is taking something away or building something up, but the actual definition is the process that breaks things down. There are two types of erosion, chemical and machanical. One is like taking a hammer to a rock another is chemicals under the soil mixing with the rock and dissolving the rock from the bottom. Erosion is always happening in a downhill direction. For example, when we drove through the mountains going to Gatlinburg I noticed the nets on the mountains to keep the rocks from falling onto the road because of the erosion. Has anyone else seen those nets on the highway?
Erosion is when rocks wheres away, when a river takes it down a stream, when you drop it and it has a crack in it or breaks and turns into sand. My defintion for erosion is when a rock gets dropped and gets a crack in it or shatters and turns into sand.
@ Abby Jaspers:
I Agree with you because erosion takes a long time to happen but makes big changes. Erosion does make big change. Like for example erosion built the grand canyon, see erosion makes big changes.
I agree with Anthony this is preaty cool. I really like what he said with pooring the acid on the mountain and making it dissolve after a long time.
I agree with Rachel because I didn't know that erosion could build things up either.
@kyle:
i agree with you kyle, the grand canyon is a great example of erosion.
i would say erosion is when things break down and causes weathering and denudation. big things are broken down into smaller things, like boulders are made into sand, it rains on mountains and the mountains become hills then the peices become smaller and go down the sides of the mountains. weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction.
I disagree with Abby, erosion doesn't take a long time to happen. Erosion breaks things down little by little but we don't always notice the little changes. We normally don't notice that things are eroding until a long period of time, when the erosion has a big impact on the things being eroded.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down. During erosion objects become smaller like a boulder into sand or a mountain in to a hill. Erosion is always in a downhill direction.

I agree with adam lyons that big things erode into little things like how beaches are made.

@ Sara Dirr:
It's not all down hill. It can happen any where. Erosion shapes canyons, valleys, rivers, streams, etc.
@ Drew Vaive:
Yeah that's kind of how I would describe it too. Like it starts out new, and then after a while, weather wheres it down. Then it's so small, that it just doesn't exsist any more!
I think it is interesting how we erosion takes place. I think it allows us to see that masses have an effect on each other. I would define erosion as the process that breaks things down and the breakdown of land around us. Denudation is the process of erosion. When masses are broken down into smaller pieces and two masses have friction against each other it has a lasting effect on the masses. Weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction. The dirt and rock that are worn away move to a different place. Scientists call it mass wasting. Wasting is the loss of matter in one place. This can happen is two different ways. One way is mechanical and it is like breaking a rock with a hammer. Another way is chemical and it is like pouring acid on a rock to dissolve it. Scients use a method called surefire to check the color of the rock. If there is color, chemical may be taking place. If there is no color, it may be mechanical.
@ George McFarren:
I had no clue Erosion could build things up either! I think it is really interesting how smaller masses can build up to larger things. I guess when the mass that is worn away is taken to a different place all the mass that is there builds up to be a bigger mass.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down. Erosion is the breaking down of the contenents and the land. Large things are broken down so they are smaller in nature that is.
Erosion is the process of breaking things down also it is the brakdown of land and contents around us. During erosion large things are broken down for example boulders become sand and mountains become hills. Wind, water and humans can cause erosion.
@ Ian Mushrush
Ian you said different kinds of erosion but not what ocursed during erosion.
erosion breaks down thing like the grand canyon erosion shaped the land. earosion takes big things and breaks them down into little things. taylor roberts
Erosion is the process of breaking things down. For example, rain takes a chunck of a moutain and makes it roll down. Another example of erosion would be if the chunk that fell down broke into smaller chunks or became sand.
That is a very good point sean. I never really thought of a mudslide as erosion before.
I think erosion is pretty cool. I many ways it has shaped our surroundings. Maybey even including the continents.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down. During the process of erosion it breaks down rocks by weathering. This combonation is called denudation. that would be so cool to see all of this happen in a matter of 30 secionds.
I agree with anthony, that would be prittey cool to pour acid over a rock and see it fizz it away.
Erosion is the process that breaks things down.erosion is the breakdown of rocks, mountains and the land around us. think of a beach with no sand. erosion is the maker of sand wind and water breaks down rocks to produce sand. canyons and hills are also creations of sand.
I agree with abby jaspers it takes a long time to happen but when it does u can really notice the change and difference
Erosion is the process that breaks things down.Erosion is the breakdown of the the land near you. The effect of breaking down and weathering the land is called denudation. Denudation is the process of erosion.large things are broken down into smaller things. Mountains are rained on and become hills. The pieces of the mountain become smaller pieces. Weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction.

i agree with noah i would hate a beach with no sand
erosion is when the rock is worn away by other rock, water or wind.
a perfect example of water erosion is the grand canyon. it took millions of years to form it and it will probably eep wearing away until the river stops flowing.
if you go to arizona, statue like rocks have holes through the middle. thats wind erosion. the thiner rock is worn away faster than the thicker part of the rock.
rock and rock erosion i think is kinda like granite. its a bunch of little rocks all packed togethor to form a beutiful sparkly rock.
i agree with kaleb
erosion is just the breaking down of land around us.
Erosion is the process in which bitts of earth are slowly moved by wind or water across land usually taking away parts of mountains and moving the pieces to wetlands or plains to start building up land there which takes a long time for this process. I already knew before I started about erosion.
Anthany@ I agree with you the prosses is very amazing in many ways like how it shaped the grand caynoyn and many other things made from it.
erosion breaks things down. like the grand canyon. erosion breaks down the land. denudation is the process of erosion. taylor roberts
Erosion is the process that breaks things down. As far as we're concerned, erosion is the breakdown of the continents and the land around you. The overall effect of breaking down and weathering the land is called denudation. Denudation is the process of erosion. In nature, large things are broken down into smaller things. Boulders become sand. Mountains are rained on and become hills. The pieces of the mountain become smaller pieces and go down the sides of hills. Weathering and erosion always happen in a downhill direction.
@ Kaleb erosion is the process that breaks things down and also erosion is the breakdown of land surronding us.
Erosion is a process of things breaking down and turning to sand or dust. It is weathering down the earth and land this make diches, holes, for exsample is you have to rock and rub them together for years they will turn to pebbles like sand since you wore them away
austin papner
The natural processes with natural material like the weather,water, and wind causing earthly or rocky material. That causes things to break down into smaller material.
I think what Yahanz said is pretty interesting about the wetlands how sediments go down the water to create it.
Erosion is the process of a minaral being broken down and smoothened. there are two types of erosion, wind and water. Wind is just like a sand blaster being fired at a rock but, much slower. Water erosion created the grand canyon.

To Rachel,
I didn't know Erosion could build things up either. It's cool that erosion makes one thing smaller and another thing bigger.
