Ernest Hemingway Key West House is the number One Key West attraction. Actually one of the things that draws people to the Keys are tales of Ernest Hemingway Florida Keys adventures. The boxing, the drinking and of course the writing.
By Andrew Alden. Definition: Erosion is the general name for the processes that break down rocks (weathering) and the processes that carry away the breakdown products (transportation). The physical processes of erosion are called corrasion or mechanical erosion; the chemical processes are called corrosion or chemical erosion. But most examples of erosion include some of both corrasion and corrosion. The agents of erosion are gravity, ice, water (eluvian erosion) and wind (eolian erosion). Erosion is sometimes restricted to transportation, excluding weathering.
Answers. 1  Erosion is the process by which natural forces move weathered rock and soil from one place to another. Gravity, running water, glaciers, waves, and wind all cause erosion. The material moved by erosion is sediment. When the agents of erosion lay down sediment, deposition occurs. Deposition changes the shape of the land. Weathering, erosion, and deposition act together in a cycle that wears down and builds up Earth's surface.
