What are three things that cause erosion and deposition?
Below are the four agents of erosion, so take what you need:Fluvial erosion - rivers mainly. Rivers erode by hydraulic action, abrasion, attrition and solution. Deposition occurs because the river has run out of energy, or energy is low.Marine erosion - oceans and seas. These erode by hydraulic action and abrasion mainly, as the ocean has great sheer force. They do not transport much material, as most of the work is done by gravity, so most material is left directly under where it came from, but separate nonetheless.Glacial erosion - glaciers. Glaciers erode by plucking and abrasion, then deposit the moraine (glacial load) at the snoutAeolian erosion - wind. Wind erodes mainly by blasting sediment at rocks, which is classic abrasion. Sediment is often deposited as a dune.All agents of erosion cause both erosion and deposition as ultimately all eroded material is deposited.
Coastal regions are often affected by abrasion what process would cause increased abrasion along a coastal region?
Stormy weather.
Can wind cause erosion though ablation and abrasion?
true
What does erosion cause but weathering does not?
sediment
Waves cause erosion by impact and what?
Type your answer here... By deflation and abrasion.
What kind of erosion would cause long scratch marks on rocks surface?
I think you are talking about a groove cast. Groove casts form in the bottom of a stream when transported sediment is dragged along a mud bottom.
What causes a river to deposit sediment?
Most sediment washes or falls into a river as a result of mass movement and runoff. Other sediment erodes from the bottom or sides of the river. Wind can also drop sediment into the water. Hope I helped! -DorkyGeek77
What is A depositional feature that forms where a stream enters a lake or ocean?
A meander. <-------NovaNet wrong your answer miss or mister novanet ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The absolutely best answer is "a delta " cause a delta is a n accumulation of sediment formed where a stream enters a lake or ocean....:-)hismejohn
What the effect of abrasion?
Wind-carried sand polish rock and cause a little abrasion.
Do animals cause abrasion?
yes
Is abrasion a cause of mechanical weathering?
yes
Can sand being blown by wing cause abrasion?
Yes it certainly can - and amazingly rapid and severe abrasion, too.
What type of wound does scrapping and rubbing cause?
Abrasion
Can abrasion cause potholes in the road?
Yes, it is possible.
Coastal regions are often affected by abrasion what process would cause increased abrasion along a coastal region?

What are two results in which waves cause erosion?
abrasion and corrosion ?
