Can wind cause erosion though ablation and abrasion?
true
Waves cause erosion by impact and what?
Type your answer here... By deflation and abrasion.
Why do glaciers cause erosion?
Glaciers cause erosion since they are in form of a block of snow which will melt and erode the land. This can be in form of abrasion, freeze-thaw or plucking.
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.
Where is wind the most active agent of erosion?
Abrasion
What are two ways which waves cause erosion?
The two ways in which waves cause erosion are deflation and abrasion.
What are two results in which waves cause erosion?
abrasion and corrosion ?
What else besides impact do waves cause erosion by?
Abrasion
Can wind cause erosion though ablation and abrasion?
true
Is erosion a form of abrasion?
no abrasion is a form of erosion

Process of erosion in which a glacier drags rocks along the landscape?
abrasion
What type of erosion formed beach?

What do you call the wearing down of rocks by blowing sand?
Erosion by abrasion, or aeolian erosion.
