Erosion

Erosion is a key factor in the Wissahickon, erosion is the removal of solids from a certain area when water comes rushing down on that spot. There are 5 types of erosion and they include water erosion, gravity erosion, shoreline erosion, ice line erosion, and wind erosion. A perfect example of erosion is the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Faded paint, Sand on the beach, exposed rocks or smooth rocks, for example the ones for skipping, and rust on metal are some examples of weathering and erosion. Erosion basically exposes everyt part of a tree from the stump. Roots are shown and such. Depostition is what would lead to filling in those gaps
