Story Synopsis
Mountains and beaches don’t stay exactly the same forever. This story explains erosion—the slow wearing and moving of Earth’s materials. Miluna shares that rain can wash tiny bits of soil downhill, rivers can carry sand and pebbles, and wind can blow dust and shape rocks. Even ice can help: glaciers scrape and push rocks as they move slowly. Over many years, erosion can make valleys, smooth stones, and build new land elsewhere. The tone stays calm and time-focused, helping kids picture Earth as patient and steady. Curiosity stories like this grow earth-science understanding without stress.

In One Glance
Erosion is the process that breaks down and transports rock and soil. Water, wind, ice, and gravity move tiny particles from one place to another. Rivers can carry sediment, waves reshape coasts, wind can carve and move sand, and glaciers can scrape rock. Over long periods, erosion changes landscapes and helps create valleys and beaches. The story presents erosion as a slow, gentle pattern of change.
