abrasion
The wearing away of materials by rubbing action during strong winds. Abrasion is a form of erosion caused by rubbing of fine particles against an object. The effect is much the same as using sandpaper. Sandstorms caused by strong winds carry fine sand that wears away the base of desert cliffs.

Abrasion
For other uses, see Abrasion (disambiguation).
In dermatology, an abrasion, is superficial damage to the skin, generally not deeper than the epidermis. It is more superficial than an excoriation, although it can give mild bleeding. Mild abrasions, also known as 'grazes' do not scar, but deep abrasions may lead to the development of scarring tissue.
