How do rock types and rock structure affect the rate of erosion?

Typically, weathered rock materials do not stay in place. Wherever the ground slopes, gravity causes soil and rock fragments to fall, slide, or move at slow speeds to lower levels. Rain or wind may remove sand and dust from the side of a hill. A river transporting weathered material downstream. Mass movement refers to the downward transportation of weathered materials by gravity. Erosion is the removal and transport of materials by natural agents such as wind and running water.

What are 4 factors that affect a wave's rate of erosion?
Erosion,weathuring,andclimate
What are some factors that affect the rate and direction of succession?
erosion of the banks of the pond
What happens to the rate of erosion when the slope is increased?
Erosion increases due to the effective gravitational gradient.
How does erosion affect how fast a coastline erodes?
Well, since sand is already very eroded rock a coastline would probably be affected more if the coast was rocky. The type of rock also would affect the rate of erosion. Sedimentary rock erodes faster than igneous and metamorphic im pretty sure. hope it helps.

How do human activities affect rates of erosion?
Humans do many things to affect the rate of erosion. One example of this is removing vegitation which causes the soil to be loose and easily erode
The rate of soil erosion depends on what?
The rate of soil erosion depends on a number of things, including the type of soil erosion you are talking about (water vs. wind erosion). Without being more specific here, this question can only be answered with broad generalities that are true of both types of erosion. Erosion rate depends on the speed of the erosive agent (water flow rate or wind speed). Anything that affects the speed of the water or wind will therefore have an effect. Erosion rate will also depend on how well the soil is covered. If it is exposed to the erosive agents, it will erode more rapidly. See the links for more on the specific types of erosion.

What are the three factors that affect the rate of stream erosion?
it is gradient, discharge and load.

How does runoff affect the rate of erosion?
As runnoff travels it forms tiny grooves and as a stream runs down erosion happens as the rocks get carried away. Poops
