Abrasion is the mechanical scraping of a rock surface by friction between rocks and moving particles during their transport by wind, glacier, waves, gravity, running water or erosion. After friction, the moving particles dislodge loose and weak debris from the side of the rock. The intensity of abrasion depends on the hardness, concentration, velocity and mass of the moving particles.

The intensity of abrasion depends on the hardness, concentration, velocity and mass of the moving particles.
- An abrasion, also known as a scrape (mild) or avulsion (deep), was a wound characterized by superficial tissue damage. Leonard McCoy treated Lazarus for a deep abrasion on his forehead, only to have it mysteriously disappear moments later. (TOS: "The Alternative Factor" )
