ABRASION:
Abrasion of aggregate is rock erosion occurring when rocks at high velocity rub against each other and friction effect causes surface grinding.
ATTRITION:
Attrition also occurs on rocks, however, its undue grinding as a result of weight of heavy rock grinding another rock this can be due to gravity.
Aggregates are loosely held materials on a certain surface. These materials are usually eroded away from rocks when acted upon by agents of erosion.
