The process in which rock is worn away and transported by water, wind or ice

Real World Example

Imagine trying to keep your house clean when you have a constant stream of visitors tracking dirt inside. Just as the dirt gradually accumulates and moves around your home, rocks are worn away and transported by natural forces like water, wind, or ice. In both cases, there is a steady process of wearing away (like the dirt eroding your clean floors) and transportation (like the dirt moving around your house), illustrating how erosion reshapes and relocates rock materials over time.
