What can slow down erosion?
weathering
How do humans try to slow down erosion?
Humans try to slow erosion down by putting boulders down in front of the place that is eroding to help prop it up.
Describe ways to help slow erosion on steep slopes?
terracing grows some vegetation which helps slow down erosion
What is the difference between slow and fast erosion?
slow is when the gravity pushes u down and fast is when u run
What will help to slow down erosion?
By planting trees on were it is occurring plants in general
How do sand dunes slow erosion?
it slows it because of the gravity of the earth
Dunes reduce beach erosion because?
They block and slow down wind, reducing wind erosion.Specialized plants grow on them, which reduces water erosion as the plants will uptake rainfallThe specialized plants will also bind the sand together with their roots, keeping it more compact and reducing erosion further.
What can help stop dune erosion?
Planting grass and other seaside vegetation will slow erosion. The roots help to bind the sand together making it more difficult for wind and rain to erode the dunes.
What are some technologies people can use to slow the erosion of barrier islands?
They can use sand bags to slow down the rate of erosion on barrier islands.
Does the Great Sand Dunes change fast or slow?
They form at the whim of the wind.
How do plants effect sand dunes?
Plants, such as trees and bushes, can stabilize a sand dune and slow or limited its growth and movement.

How does sand dune formed?
Sand particles can be carried away by strong winds. These particles eventually fall when the wind if not strong enough to keep them aloft. Sand dunes form in areas where wind routine occurs. The dunes start when an obstruction of some sort acts as a barrier to block the wind. The wind slows down when it hits the barrier, allowing the sand particle to fall to the ground Eventually, the obstruction, which may be a stump or rock, will become completely buried by sand. The dune continues to grow by the same process as more and more sand particles are released by the winds that slow down when they hit the dune. Interestingly, dunes move slowly. This occurs when the wind lifts sand up on the windward side and the sand falls down on the leeward side. cool
What are the advantages of the beach?
Groynes prevent or slow down erosion.
