Erosion Concept Map: Structure and Key Ideas
An erosion concept map organizes how Earth's surface is worn away and moved. Erosion has three linked stages: weathering breaks rock down in place, transport carries the material away, and deposition lays it down elsewhere. The main agents are running water, wind, glaciers, waves and gravity, and each one leaves distinct landforms.
- Agents: water, wind, ice, waves and gravity that move material
- Processes: weathering, transport and deposition in sequence
- Water erosion: rivers, gullies and sediment deposited as deltas
- Wind and ice: dunes, yardangs, moraines and U-shaped valleys
- Human factors: deforestation and farming that speed up soil loss
Use the map to review each agent and the landforms it creates before an exam. CogniGuide can build a personalized erosion map from your own notes, so you can check each branch against your course material.

Erosion Concept Map Questions
Answers about erosion and how to make your own map.
What is the difference between weathering and erosion?
Weathering breaks rock into smaller pieces where it sits, without moving it. Erosion is the process that then transports those pieces away by water, wind, ice or gravity.
What are the main agents of erosion?
The main agents are running water, wind, glaciers, waves and gravity. Each moves sediment in a different way and produces different landforms.
Which file types can I use to build an erosion map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or an image of your notes. You can also just type the topic.
Can I turn my erosion map into a quiz?
Yes. Once the map is built, you can turn it into a quiz to test yourself, and use the same notes to create flashcards. A free plan is available.
