Difference between Erosion and Valley

Erosion vs. Valley

In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that remove soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transport it to another location (not to be confused with weathering which involves no movement). A valley is a low area between hills or mountains often with a river running through it.

Abrasion (geology)

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

Agriculture

Agriculture is the cultivation of land and breeding of animals and plants to provide food, fiber, medicinal plants and other products to sustain and enhance life.

Climate

Climate is the statistics of weather over long periods of time.

Glacier

A glacier is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight; it forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation (melting and sublimation) over many years, often centuries.

Gully

A gully is a landform created by running water, eroding sharply into soil, typically on a hillside.

Landslide

The term landslide or, less frequently, landslip, refers to several forms of mass wasting that include a wide range of ground movements, such as rockfalls, deep-seated slope failures, mudflows and debris flows.

Rock (geology)

Rock or stone is a natural substance, a solid aggregate of one or more minerals or mineraloids.

Sediment

Sediment is a naturally occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequently transported by the action of wind, water, or ice, and/or by the force of gravity acting on the particles.

U-shaped valley

U-shaped valleys, trough valleys or glacial troughs, are formed by the process of glaciation.
