Erosion? I thought we were talking about rock climbing. You know, the impact angle and all that. Oops, wrong exam.

D. Density of impacting particles? Sounds like the right answer to me. The denser the particle, the more damage it can do.

I'm going with B. Size of impacting particles. Bigger particles are going to cause more wear and tear, right?

Hmm, I'm pretty sure the answer is E. Corrosiveness of the environment. Erosion is all about the physical factors, not the chemical ones.

I always get erosion and corrosion mixed up too. It's tricky to remember all the different factors that contribute to each process.

Yeah, erosion is more about the physical wearing away of material, while corrosion is about chemical reactions. The exam is definitely testing our knowledge!

Oh, erosion and corrosion are different things. Erosion is caused by factors like impact angle, particle size, velocity, and density.
