Answer:

moving bits of rock and soil across the earth’s surface by water, wind, or glaciers

Explanation:

Erosion is the active wearing away of the earth's surface by agents of denudation such as running water, wind, ice and waves.

Denudation is the process of lowering and leveling of the earth surface by gradual breaking and wearing away of the earth.

The sequence of denudation progresses from weathering to erosion through transportation and it finally ends with depositions.

Erosion moves rock bits and soils that have been disintegrated and decayed by the process of weathering. During transportation, eroded materials are carried away to new areas where they are deposited.
