Are there four primary ways abrasion occurs?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • Abrasion generally occurs in four ways: glaciation, river channels, waves, and wind.
  • Glaciation slowly grinds rocks picked up by ice against rock surfaces.
  • Solid objects in river channels make abrasive contact with bed and walls.
  • Objects in breaking waves and wind transporting sand also cause abrasion.
