The answer is; water

Water from precipitation is the main agent of erosion. The water forms surface runoffs on the earth surface carrying with it soil to the oceans. This water also curves the earth surface by eroding and curving rocks over time to form rivers. It is this water that also dissolved limestone rocks to form geographical features such as caves. Another example is how water from the oceans erodes beaches to form features such as cliffs.
