description="**experimental** Runs the specified erosion algorithm over the given defined region. This may occur in 2d or 3d. Currently implemented algorithms: snowballs (default;2d hydraulic-like). Also optionally takes an arbitrary set of key - value pairs representing parameters to pass to the algorithm. See the full documentation for details.",
