The phrase "agents of erosion" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in discussions about geological processes, environmental science, or any context where the impact of natural forces on landscapes is being described.
Example: "Rivers and glaciers are significant agents of erosion, shaping the land over thousands of years."
Alternatives: "erosional forces" or "erosive agents".
The processes generating these forces are the major agents of erosion, transport, and deposition of debris.
Agents of erosion and its impact were briefly outlined.
Although there are several agents of erosion, water is the most important one.
They had recognized that blocky mesas and conical monadnocks are subtractive features, remnants of resistant rock left after aeons of sculpting by agents of erosion.
The impact of all three agents of erosion implicates considerable redistribution processes and is a crucial factor for investigation of source- and sink dynamics, field scale sediment budgets and connectivity.
Goats in particular may have played a dominant role as agents of erosion, and intense browsing may have led to the decline in deciduous oak; evergreen oak is more likely to survive as it re-sprouts more vigorously after browsing.
A set of 3 geological observatories, each looking at a different agent of erosion were designed on the site.
The wind is important as an agent of erosion but, as mentioned above, is never as effective as running water is in modifying the surface of the land.
In spite of the limited length of the rivers, the action of running water is the chief agent of erosion responsible for molding the contemporary Apennine landscape.
Influence of the surface factors varies, whereas the factor "agent of erosion" seems to be the most crucial one.
Bedrock erosion experiments in the last 15 years reveal that the efficiency of rock abrasion scales inversely with the square of rock tensile strength, sediment supply has a dominant control over bed roughness and abrasion rates, suspended sediment is an efficient agent of erosion, and feedbacks with channel form and roughness strongly influence erosion rates.
