decayerosion
Decayerosion is a term used to describe the process by which certain materials degrade and wear away over time due to the combined effects of environmental factors and their inherent chemical or physical instability. This phenomenon is distinct from simple erosion caused by external forces like wind or water, as it encompasses an internal tendency towards decomposition or breakdown.
The rate of decayerosion is influenced by a variety of factors. Material composition is paramount; some substances
Examples of decayerosion can be observed in natural and artificial contexts. Organic materials like wood and
