Wikipedia:
Eroze je přirozený proces rozrušování a transportu objektů na zemském povrchu (půda, horniny, skály, apod.). Příčinou eroze je mechanické působení pohybujících se okolních látek - především větru, proudící nebo vlnící se vody, ledu, sněhu, pohyblivých zvětralin a nezpevněných usazenin.
Example sentences:
Erozi půdy zvyšuje spásání travin, nekontrolovaná těžba dřeva, stavba obydlí a komunikací. (Wikipedia)
