Difference between Coastal erosion and Corrasion

Coastal erosion vs. Corrasion

Coastal erosion is the wearing away of material from a coastal profile including the removal of beach, sand dunes, or sediment by wave action, tidal currents, wave currents, drainage or high winds (see also beach evolution). Corrasion is a geomorphological term for the process of mechanical erosion of the earth's surface caused when materials are transported across it by running water, waves, glaciers, wind or gravitational movement downslope.

Similarities between Coastal erosion and Corrasion

Coastal erosion and Corrasion have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Abrasion (geology), Attrition (erosion), Hydraulic action.

Abrasion (geology)

Abrasion is a process of erosion which occurs when material being transported wears away at a surface over time.

Attrition (erosion)

Attrition is a form of coastal or river erosion, when the bed load is eroded by itself and the bed.

Hydraulic action

Hydraulic action is the erosion that occurs when the motion of water against a rock surface produces mechanical weathering.
