0 Guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) Aha! Your turn to shoot me down with a single bullet! Great job, Lotus! You must have your dancing shoes on!!! Erosion Thank you. It seemed easy enough. But I was so scared I was thinking too simply. Which is the only reason (I swear) that people always dance around my riddles. Thanks. I rarely get riddles before others. : ) Edited May 11, 2009 by lotus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) I would have said water.. erosion occurs when water/wind/ice moves the objects, because it is the breakdown, wearing away, or removal of whatever it may be in the great outdoors... not to take away from your answer, though, lotus!

Of course not! Nothing was taken from my answer, because mine was RIGHT!! HAHAHAHA! You're right, I think. I could be wrong, but I don't believe water is the sole cause of erosion. Quite possibly I'm wrong, though. And bones? What's wearing at the bones? The basic answer still fits best as erosion. It's all-encompassing. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) exactly. the answer may be erosion.. but in context to the riddle, water fits exactly the same.. water's what causes the erosion to show fossils, move dirt etc. not trying to argue, just stating what my answer was.
