Question

Difference between wind and water erosion of soil

Answer 1

Water erosion; tiny particles of rock being chipped away as water grinds through it, and carried downstream, causing the area to slowly (SLOWLY) expand 
Wind erosion; particles of dust being chipped and blown off of rock due to the friction and power of the wind beating against it. Again, a slow process. 
Water is a more powerful erosion force than wind.

Before erosion takes place, weathering must occur. Weathering is the breakdown of rock into smaller pieces by different processes like water and wind. Erosion is what happens when these pieces are removed and taken away from their original location.

One of the most detrimental forms of erosion is beach erosion. Over time, water washes over the beaches and takes the coastline into the ocean, driving beaches farther inland.

Answer 2

wind erosion :
Wind erosion is a natural process that moves soil from one location to another by wind power. It can cause significant economic and environmental damage.

Wind erosion can be caused by a light wind that rolls soil particles along the surface through to a strong wind that lifts a large volume of soil particles into the air to create dust storms.

water erosion : Water erosion is caused by the detachment and transport of soil by rainfall, runoff, melting snow or ice, and irrigation. Excessive erosion can threaten the production of agricultural and forest products.
