Erosion is the displacement of solids (earth, mud, rock and so on) through natural causes, in some cases aided by artificial means (e.g., trail?-building and overgrazing). Several types of erosion are in effect, such as wind and water erosion. The end product of erosion is silt?. Silt is born by water or wind and eventually deposited. This deposition is called sedimentation?, and most of the silt created by erosion ends up in sediment layers.
