Erosion is responsible for some of the weirdest-looking natural wonders on Earth. The effects of rainfall, wind abrasion, wave and river flow, glacial movement, and that of weathering—the breaking down of rocks, soil, and minerals as well as wood and artificial materials through contact with the Earth's atmosphere, water, and biological organisms—has left behind an array of outstanding geological features, many of which stand as cherished landmarks and visitor attractions.
