Usage: technical/geological

Examples

• The erosible soil along the riverbank requires reinforcement to prevent further loss.
• Sandstone is more erosible than granite and wears away more quickly.
• Coastal cliffs made of erosible materials are at high risk during storms.
• Engineers assessed which erosible surfaces needed protection from water damage.
• The erosible nature of the hillside made it unsuitable for construction without stabilization.
