The process where the Earth's crust is worn down and recycled is called erosion. This natural process involves the removal and transport of rock and soil materials by agents such as water, wind, and ice. Erosion shapes landscapes, creates sedimentary deposits, and plays a vital role in nutrient cycling within ecosystems. Effective land management practices are essential to mitigate negative impacts of erosion, especially in agricultural regions and fragile environments, ensuring soil conservation and sustainability.
