There are a few ways: 1. Over-grazing by livestock takes away vegetation. The land then turns from grassland to desert. 2. The desert ground is then blown by winds and after some time we get sand dunes etc. 3. Water flowing down a hill or mountain cuts into the soil to make ravines and crevices, eventually making canyons. This is done when the water picks up sand particles. These particles rub against rock and gradually grind them away.

Wind and water keep chipping away at (mostly igneous) rock formations.

Eventually the sediments collect and are compressed over long periods of time, and many times. This creates sedimentry rock formations.

Erosion is also responsible for plains, and such.

Think of a desert for a minute. Notice, that if you took a picture of a spot one day, and then took one the next day, they would be different. Landscape would change due to the wind etc.

Yes e.g. the Grand Canyon was eroded over a million years or so by water.

How erosion helps?

Erosion is helpful because it helps make beaches, sand dunes, and deltas. Erosion does not make these landforms, deposition does, but erosion links with deposition. Erosion is also damaging because it washes away soil and clogs waterways
