The process in which rock is worn away and transported by water, wind or ice
Real World Example
Imagine how your favorite pair of jeans slowly fades and frays over time with repeated washes and wear. Just like the fabric of your jeans is gradually worn down by the friction and movement of washing cycles, rock is similarly worn away and transported by natural forces such as water, wind, or ice. In this analogy, the rock is like the fabric of your jeans, while the washing process represents the natural elements that cause erosion, gradually breaking down and carrying away parts of the rock, much like the fading and fraying of denim over time.
