This dimension links an earth process to the field of study built around it. Wikipedia defines erosion as "the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust," the core subject of geomorphology within geology. Browsing by discipline groups processes that one branch of earth science studies most closely.
