"Erosion Examples. Erosion is the wearing away of an object or substance through an external force. Typically, erosion refers to the gradual wearing away of soil, dirt, rock, or other land structures over time through natural forces such as water or wind". :/ idk any examples off my head but this might help you make some up or something :/

Examples:
1. Caves

Caves are carved out over thousands of years by flowing water, but that activity can be sped up by carbonic acid present in the water. As fresh water leeches through the rock and soil and drips through cracks, it gathers calcium carbide from the rock. When this water moves through a rock, the resulting carbonic acid erodes the rock until over time, a cave formation occurs.

2. River Banks

The banks of creeks and rivers erode over time as the water moves past it, carrying away sediment and depositing it elsewhere. The Colorado River, which flows through the Grand Canyon, drops as much as an estimated 100,000 cubic yards of sediment in Lake Powell each year. This type of soil erosion often comes as a result of water moving past the banks or walls of a river bed. Also, rocks in the river itself can be worn down and smoothed due to the constant rolling or "tumbling" motion the moving water causes.

3. Cracks in Rocks

Through a process known as exfoliation, rocks can erode due to nothing more powerful than energy from the sun. When rocks are heated quickly by the sun, the rock expands quickly. This rapid expansion can cause small cracks to form, cracks which make the rock vulnerable to wind and water erosion.

Mariana [72]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the video or a link to it.

However, we can comment on the following based on our knowledge of the topic.

It is my understanding that narco-terrorism is a serious issue and a real threat to national security for the following reasons.

1.- We are talking about organized crime groups that have all the money to buy weapons, bodyguards, loyal followers, and paramilitary people.

2.- They are part of an international network of organized crime that operates in different countries, including the United States.

3.- These criminal organizations can corrupt the military, federal, and state governments in different countries. That is why they can operate in secrecy and their leaders are seldom identified or caught by the police.

That is why Pablo Escobar's The King of Cocaine,' arguably the most notorious narco-terrorist / drug lord of all time, and other people can operate lucrative criminal organizations exporting drugs, generating violence and corruption through the use of bribes, and corrupt entire governments in different countries.
