what is difference between corrossion and erosion?

Answer Posted / hari

corrosion is a chemical reaction which can only distroy the ferrous materials(ferro-metals).But non-metals it can't.

In case of erosion it just not limited for ferrous or non ferrous metals because it is a mechanical action(loss) which can distroy any contacting surfaces too for a while.
