Erosion on Earth arises primarily from processes involving water, but also from atmospheric winds. Venus has very little surface wind because of its slow rotation, and wind on Mars does little damage because of the low atmospheric pressure. On Earth, water contributes to erosion through processes such as rain and rivers breaking down mountains, carving canyons, and transporting sand and silt. Water also seeps into cracks and breaks them down from the inside.
