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

Real World Example

Imagine trying to keep your kitchen counter tidy, but every time someone walks by, they take a small item with them. Just like how your counter gradually becomes emptier over time, erosion is the process where rock is worn away and transported by natural forces like water, wind, or ice. In this analogy, the kitchen counter represents the Earth's surface, the items are pieces of rock, and the people walking by symbolize the natural forces slowly carrying those pieces away.
