Ocean waves and
gravity have caused enough
erosion on the cliffs here in
Pacifica, California, that the building is in danger of falling over the edge. Erosion is the process by which
sediment,
soil,
rock and other particles, are removed from a region of the Earth's surface. Erosion is distinguished from
weathering, although the two processes may occur concurrently.Photo:
