What else can I help you with?
Is floodplains caused by erosion?
Floodplains are typically formed by the deposition of sediments carried and deposited by rivers during floods, rather than erosion. Erosion can shape the landscape, but floodplains are mostly a result of the sediment deposition process.
How can you explain to a fourth grader about weathering and erosion and still have them interested?
by making it a fun game
How does a floodplains form?
They form from deposition NOT EROSION!!
What is weathering and erosion and explain weathering and erosion?
Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks and minerals into smaller pieces through exposure to environmental factors like water, wind, and temperature changes. Erosion is the movement and transportation of these weathered materials by natural forces like water, wind, and ice. Together, weathering and erosion work to shape and change the Earth's surface over time.
What thing is different from erosion and weathering?
Erosion is when..................................................................................................................................................and weathering is when......................................................................................................!
What are the two processes that wear earth down and reshape landforms?
the shifting of tectonic plates and submergence of rock will create magma which will force its way to the surface creating some land forms. there is also a glaciation process and river process.
What type of erosion has floodplains been created by?
Floodplains are typically created by fluvial erosion, which is the erosion caused by flowing water such as rivers and streams. Over time, the continuous flow of water can lead to the gradual widening of the river channel, depositing sediment in the surrounding flat areas to form floodplains.
What comes first weathering erosion deposition?
weathering then erosion ,then deposition
Is erosion another name for weathering?
Yes, erosion is a synonym of weathering.
Does weathering must take place before erosion?
Weathering does not necessarily have to take place before erosion. While weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles, erosion is the process of transporting these particles to a new location. Weathering can occur simultaneously with erosion or even after erosion has started.
In what order do deposition weathering and erosion occur?
first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.
Why is the sediment load in a river an indicator of the amount of weathering and erosion?
Because the bigger the load is, more weathering and erosion there is. The less of it means less of weathering and erosion.
