Does erosion affect a river?
By natre
How does speed of water in a river affect its ability to cause erosion?
The faster the speed of water in a river the more erosion is causes. The slower the water the less amount of erosion it causes.
How does water erosion affect the appearance of rocks?
Water Erosion could erode away parts of rock.
How does slope affect the erosion and deposition of a river?
A steep slope increases the water flow, and the erosion wherever the bank is formed from softer material than rock, can be quite great when the river is in flood. Deposition is increased when the flow slows in the lower reaches as the river reaches the valley, and the gravel and silt is able to settle.
How does erosion and weathering create the Kentucky cave systems?
Well, it is not weathering. It is Erosion. The river swept through the rock and deposoted the bit of rock in another area.
What kind of erosion can affect a river valley?
Water erosion
Does erosion affect a river?

When a river carries away rock particles this is known as the process of?
Erosion by moving water in a river is called fluvial erosion.
What a river causes by removing rocks and soil from itys river bed?
erosion. and due to that erosion we get sedimentary rock.
Does erosion affect the plants growing in the river area?
yes
How does a river velocity affect its erosive ability?
A river's velocity is hugely important as erosion on the outside of a meander is solely down to this factor. This is because the river is hurling rocks (abrasion) and air bubbles into the rock face, causing it to break down quickly. The quicker the river, the more abrasion and hydraulic action will cause erosion. This means that the meander moves outwards, and causes further erosion.
How soil erosion might affect rock?
It breaks down rock, creating sediment
How does speed of water in a river affect its ability to cause erosion?
The faster the speed of water in a river the more erosion is causes. The slower the water the less amount of erosion it causes.
Can humans activivities affect the rock cyrcle?
Human activities influence different factors that affect the rock cycle, for example, soil erosion and weathering. Human activity such as mining affects rocks' weathering, affecting the rock cycle. Other human activities such as farming affect soil erosion, and soil erosion is a factor that affects the rock cycle.
A river will break down rock into sediment through the process of?
Erosion
How does water erosion affect the appearance of rocks?
Water Erosion could erode away parts of rock.
How does slope affect the erosion and deposition of a river?
