Aspect 2: The Earth's SurfaceAspect 2 will be about the Earth's surface. The main topic of this entire aspect is about the erosion. Erosion is the process that wears down and carries away rock and soil. It is a destructive process that has shaped Earth's surface over hundreds of millions of years. Erosion acts through weathering, the force of gravity, and through the movement of streams, groundwater, glaciers , wind, and waves. All of these processes are related to one thing, and it is the water cycle. The water cycle drive the erosion on the surface. Remember that the water cycle is driven by the unequal heating of the Earth. Therefore, this aspect is also related to the Sun's energy!
