"Agent of erosion is listed below

1. Wind: Soil, minerals and rocks are blown away by the wind. This phenomenon takes place mostly in desert areas. The wind acts as erosion agent in barchans and mushroom rock.

2. Sea waves: Waves breaks down rocks and moves soil and sediment from one place to another. It erodes and gives new shape to the coast. The sea wave acts as erosion agent in deltas.

3. Glacier: Water melts while glacier rolls over the land and gets seeped in the below rocks and breaks it. The glacier acts as erosion agent in cirque, moraine, and matterhorn.

4. Ground water: Water travels through small holes in the soil and settles, this underground water also erodes the below rocks under pressure. The ground water acts as erosion agent in pothole.

5. Rivers: Water in the river carries small particles and leaves small rocks, these rocks collide and break. The river acts as erosion agent in waterfalls."
