Explanation:

• Erosion is defined as the process where land (or rock, soil) is worn away by natural forces (like wind, water) or human activity.
• Desertification is the process of land becoming desert - like, often due to drought, deforestation, etc., not directly about wearing away.
• Urbanization is the growth of cities and urban areas, related to population movement, not land wearing.
• Deforestation is the clearing of forests, which can contribute to erosion but is not the process of land wearing away itself.
