Erosion
The process in which rock is worn away and transported by water, wind or ice
Real World Example
Imagine trying to keep a sandcastle intact on a busy beach with people constantly walking by. Just as footsteps cause the sandcastle to slowly crumble and spread across the beach, erosion involves the gradual wearing away and movement of rock by natural forces like water, wind, or ice. In this analogy, the sandcastle represents the rock, the footsteps symbolize the forces of nature, and the spreading sand mirrors the transport of eroded materials to new locations.
