Part 1: Erosion

Sculpts landscapes through wind, water, ice, and gravity

Erosion is a natural process that removes soil and rock, driven by water, wind, ice, and gravity. It shapes landscapes by forming valleys, canyons, and beaches, and played a key role in creating the Grand Canyon.

What is Erosion?

• Natural process removing soil and rock
• Driven by water, wind, ice, gravity
• Forms valleys, canyons, and beaches
• Key to Grand Canyon formation

The slide "Erosion in Action" showcases the Colorado River carving a vast canyon over millions of years, exposing dramatic ancient rock layers. It highlights erosion's immense power and ongoing role in dramatically shaping Earth's surface.

Globally, 30 billion tons of sediment move annually due to erosion, which drives 85% of coastal retreat worldwide. Deforestation accelerates erosion speeds by 2-10 times.
