Erosion

What do we mean by erosion?

The group of natural processes, including weathering, dissolution, abrasion, corrosion, and transportation, by which material is worn away from the earth's surface. noun

The process of eroding or the condition of being eroded. noun

The act or operation of eating or gnawing away. noun

Hence The act of wearing away by any means. noun

In zoology, the abrasion or wearing away of a surface or margin, as if by gnawing; the state of being erose; the act of eroding. noun

In geology, the wearing away of rocks by water and other agencies of geological change. noun

The state of being eaten or worn away; corrosion; canker; ulceration. noun

The act or operation of eroding or eating away. noun

The state of being eaten away; corrosion; canker. noun

The wearing away of the earth's surface by any natural process. The chief agent of erosion is running water; minor agents are glaciers, the wind, and waves breaking against the coast. noun

A gradual reduction or lessening as if by an erosive force. noun

The result of having been being worn away or eroded, as by a glacier on rock or the sea on a cliff face. noun

The changing of a surface by mechanical action, friction, thermal expansion contraction, or impact. noun

Destruction by abrasive action of fluids. noun

One of two fundamental operations in morphological image processing from which all other morphological operations are derived. noun

Loss of tooth enamel due to non-bacteriogenic chemical processes. noun

A shallow ulceration or lesion, usually involving skin or epithelial tissue. noun

A gradual decline of something noun

Erosion by chemical action noun

(geology) the mechanical process of wearing or grinding something down (as by particles washing over it) noun

The result of having been worn away or eroded, as by a glacier on rock or the sea on a cliff face.

The changing of a surface by mechanical action, friction, thermal expansion contraction, or impact.

The gradual loss of something as a result of an ongoing process.

Destruction by abrasive action of fluids.

(image processing) One of two fundamental operations in morphological image processing from which all other morphological operations are derived.

Loss of tooth enamel due to non-bacteriogenic chemical processes.

A shallow ulceration or lesion, usually involving skin or epithelial tissue.

In morphology, a basic operation (denoted ⊖); see Erosion (morphology).
