Question

What is difference between errosion and corrosion?

Answer 1

Errosion is caused by natural forces whereas corrosion is caused by chemical action.

Answer 2

Errosion would be caused by a force, like wind and water.  Corrosion would be caused just by air or dampness or chemical reaction.

Answer 3

erosion

The process of eroding or the condition of being eroded: erosion of the beach; progressive erosion of confidence in our legal system; erosion of the value of the dollar abroad.

The group of natural processes, including weathering, dissolution, abrasion, corrosion, and transportation, by which material is worn away from the earth's surface.

corrosion

The act or process of corroding.

Answer 4

Corrosion means the destroy of essential properties in a material gradually especially by chemical reactions with its surroundings. In the most common use of the word, this means a loss of electrons of metals reacting with water and oxygen. For an example metal rusting(by the oxidation of metal) will cause the metal to corrode.

While Erosion is the carrying away of thing such soil,rock etc by the flow thing such water,wind etc gradually.For example the river bank's corrosion causing the river to gradually shallow.

Answer 5

Erosion is the wearing away of soil and rock by natural forces like wind and water. Corrosion is a chemical reaction between a metal and oxygen in the air.

Answer 6

errosion is an agent of denudation while corrosion means when a steel gets rough . srecially in rains

Answer 7

errosion is carrying up of soil by means of wind etc.

& corrosion is rusting of metal when it comes in contact wid moist air..  

Answer 8

"Erosion" is the carrying away of particles (soil, rock, or whatever) by wind, ice, water, and other natural currents.

Corrosion is the breakdown of a material due to chemical reactions with the environment.
