Attrition is a form of coastal or river erosion , when the bed load is eroded by itself and the bed. As rocks are transported downstream along a riverbed, the regular impacts between the grains themselves and between the grains and the bed cause them to be broken up into smaller fragments. This process also makes them rounder and smoother. Attrition can also occur in glaciated regions, where it is caused by the movement of ice with embedded boulders over surface sediments. Pebbles are more affected by attrition further upstream, as the rivers velocity tends to be higher, and therefore its competence ability to carry sediment is increased. This means that the load rubs against itself more and with more force when suspended in the river, thus increasing erosion by attrition, though there is a point after transport over a certain distance that pebbles reach a size that is relatively immune to further attrition. Grain size distribution of sediments produced by attrition will also be controlled by the lithology of the rock from which they are derived. The effects of attrition can be mistaken for the effects of Sorting sediment sorting , in which the grain size of sediments is affected by sediment transport mechanisms e.g. suspension v. bed load. This effects pebble beaches the most as the pebbles smash into each other and causes it to smooth. In most cases attrition is helpful on pebble beaches because it will make sure the pebbles do not cut people and harm others.

Infobox Disease Name PAGENAME Image Caption DiseasesDB ICD10 K03.0 ICD9 ICDO OMIM MedlinePlus eMedicineSubj eMedicineTopic MeshID D019217 Attrition is the loss of teeth structure by mechanical forces from opposing teeth. Attrition initially affects the tooth enamel enamel and, if unchecked, may proceed to the underlying dentin . Once past the enamel, attrition quickly destroys the softer dentin . Erosion is a very important contributing factor to the loss of tooth substance by attrition. A. Johansson et al. 2008 The most common cause of attrition is bruxism . Functional habits are those such as chewing and swallowing, which usually puts very little force on opposing teeth. Parafunctional habit s, such as clenching and clicking the teeth together nervously, place greater amounts of forces on opposing teeth and begin to wear the teeth. As expected, wear usually begins on the incisal or occlusal surfaces. Characteristic Features Development of a facet flat surface with circumscribed and well defined border . Opposing tooth facets will match perfectly in occlusion. Interproximal Attrition Occurs at proximal surfaces of adjacent teeth when they move against one another on occlusal loading. Movement of teeth is in the vertical direction. See also Abrasion dental Abrasion Abfraction Erosion dental Erosion Bruxism References Neville, B.W., D. Damm, C. Allen, J. Bouquot.
