Which major geological process both wears away earthen materials and transports them away from their origin?

I agree. houses should be built at least a mile away from a lake or the ocean.

stashio2020, I'm originally from Michigan, & just saw some homes that fell into lake Michigan! we lived at bass lake till I was 4, when I went back as an adult, there wasn't a road between lake & cottage anymore!

Player #10639782, You're on the right track, but I believe it ought to be more like 5 or 10 miles.
