TigTag What Shapes the Coasts

​

Wind, water, and ice are the three change agents of erosion, or the carrying away of rock, sediment, and soil. Erosion is different from weathering, but they can happen at the same time. Erosion is a natural process, though it is often increased by humans’ use of the land. Fast winds can carry large particles and may move a lot of material. Wind can move soil, sand, and small pieces of rock. However, some areas are more likely to have wind erosion than other areas. For example, plant roots help to hold soil and rock in place. Therefore, areas with few plants, such as deserts and coastlines, are more likely to be eroded by wind.
