What root helps stabilize soil from erosion?
Any plant will prevent soil erosion. It's in their nature. Plants known as "pioneer species" are perhaps best suited for erosion control as these plants have evolved to thrive in areas that have been disturbed by landslides or construction.
What is the main cause for accelerated erosion?
movement of glaciers
How can construction projects increase the rate of erosion?
As more construction is going on.the soil is getting loose and as more trees are cut up .
What results when desert pavement is disturbed?

Accelerated erosion is the type of erosion that should be contolled during construstion and after the highway is completed?
it's true!!
What causes water erosion to increase?
An increase in volume or velocity of the water will increase erosion
What are two constructive affects of erosion?
Erosion is the antithesis of construction.
What can construction workers do to reduce erosion at construction sites?
Cover up dirt with tarps
How does erosion and weathering contribute to construction of roads?
to produce it
