Corrasion is a geomorphological term for the process of mechanical erosion of the earth`s surface caused when materials are transported across it by running water, waves, glaciers, wind or gravitational movement downslope. An example is the wearing away of rock on a river or seabed by the impact or grinding action of particles moving with the wat....
