erosion
I can identify and find examples of surface features caused by destructive processes.
Erosion is simply the process by which the earth's surface gets worn down. This generally happens as a result of water (rain, rivers or oceans) and wind. Erosion is the 2nd part of a cycle. First the earth is worn down through weathering. Then the weathered material erodes as a result of water and wind. Finally, the material that has eroded stops somewhere else in what is known as deposition.
