Note: Erosion

Erosion: Erosie (uitschuring / afbraak)
The slow breaking down of the landscape
due to wind, water, ice or natural forces.

Wind, water, ice or natural forces move.
The landscape breaks down 
because of this. 

Note: Types of erosion

Wind erosion: 

The wind blows the sand over the 
landscape. 

--> Abrasion = Afschuren 
The rock slowly gets smaller

Types of erosion

Water erosion: 
The power of the waves or the strength of the 
water pushes against the soil / rocks. 

Sand and other rocks
in the water break 
down the landscape.

The texts says: 'in some places it builds up the land, and in other place it breaks down the land. 

(it wears away)
