• A method for removing fossil fuels from hills
• The formation of caves in hills

• Floods eroded the sandstone away from the canyon walls.
• Glaciers eroded the canyon rock as they melted and moved.
• Ice wedged into cracks in the rock and weathered the canyon walls.

• Hurricanes pushed soil and debris from the Gulf of Mexico onto the land.

• Erosion by wind
• Weathering by water freezing and thawing
• Erosion by fast moving water
• Sediments being deposited
