Eis forErosion

Erosion is the process by which something becomes eroded. Something is eroded by being worn away slowly over time, usually from the action of wind or running water. Even the hardest rock can slowly become eroded. Erosion is a problem if it happens too fast, for example when trees and plants are removed by people and then all the good soil is washed away because there is nothing holding it together anymore.
When something explodes it suddenly gets bigger. Explosions usually make a loud noise and make a lot of heat. Popcorn popping is an example of a small explosion, and a bomb going off is an example of a large one. Large explosions can create so much force they can reduce buildings to rubble.
A formation is an arrangement of things, or how something has been formed. You might talk about a rock formation, a cloud formation, or aircraft flying in formation.

Fis forFriction

Friction is a force that resists against two surfaces sliding across each other. The rougher the surfaces are the more friction they will encounter, and the smoother the surfaces the less friction there will be. Friction is a very important force, and many of your day to day activities rely on friction. You walk around easily because of the friction between the ground and your feet. When you are on a low-friction surface like ice you will find it hard to walk, and you are likely to fall over. The man in the picture is able to climb the rope because of the friction between his hands and the rope.

A hallucination is seeing something that is not there, whether it is strange colors around the edges of things or objects and people that are not there at all. People sometimes get hallucinations when they have a migraine or when they take drugs. A hallucination is not the same as a mirage.
Identification, or ID, is something you use to prove to other people that you are who you say you are. Most identification has a photograph of you on it. People generally carry some form of identification in their wallet.
