Corrasion
Look up corrasion in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. |
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.[1] An example is the wearing away of rock on a river or seabed by the impact or grinding action of particles moving with the water.[2] The resultant effect on the rock is called abrasion.
