1. Water agent of erosion

Liquid water is the major agent of erosion on Earth. Rain, rivers, floods, lakes, and the ocean carry away bits of soil and sand and slowly wash away the sediment. Rainfall produces four types of soil erosion: splash erosion, sheet erosion, rill erosion, and gully erosion.

2. Wind agent of erosion

Wind is a powerful agent of erosion. Aeolian (wind-driven) processes constantly transport dust, sand, and ash from one place to another. Wind can sometimes blow sand into towering dunes. … Wind can also erode material until little remains at all.

3. Gravity agent of erosion

Gravity is responsible for erosion by flowing water and glaciers. That’s because gravity pulls water and ice downhill. … Gravity can pull soil, mud, and rocks down cliffs and hillsides. This type of erosion and deposition is called mass movement.
