Erosion is a key process that shapes our Earth's landscapes over time. Let’s break it down:

1. What is Erosion?
   Erosion is when natural forces like wind, water, and ice wear away soil and rocks. This means that materials get moved from one spot to another.

2. How Does Erosion Change the Land?
   Erosion can create different types of landforms, which are the features we see on the Earth’s surface. Here are a few examples:

   • Valleys: Rivers can wear away the ground, making V-shaped valleys.
   • Plateaus: When mountains are eroded, they can leave behind flat, high areas called plateaus.
   • Canyons: Rivers that erode strongly can carve out deep canyons.

3. A Great Example:
   The Grand Canyon in the USA is a perfect example of how erosion has shaped a stunning landscape over millions of years.

By understanding erosion, we can see how our planet's geography changes and evolves!
