There are four main natural agents (causes) of
erosion. Name 3 of them.
41
You must have 3 of the following1. water
(rainfall and rivers can carry sediment to other
places)2. wind (wind can pick up and move
small rock material)3. glaciers (glaciers
slowly move the sediment on the ocean floor)4.
gravity (gravity can cause mass movement)
