1 Running water on the surface of the earth erodes the land. Groundwater also can cause erosion under the surface. As water flows through the soil, acid is formed. This acid can cause minerals to be dissolved.
2 Minerals that are carried in groundwater can also be deposited in other places. This cycle of erosion and deposition can cause underground caves to form. This happens especially in areas where there is limestone below the surface.
3 A cave is an underground opening. It has a connection to the surface of the earth. A cave is formed by the erosion of limestone under the ground. The acid water moves through the cracks in the limestone and makes them larger.

As it sinks into the ground and into cracks in the limestone it erodes it.

Which part of the water cycle might cause erosion?
Precipitation will cause erosion. If you are counting collection as part of the water cycle, that can cause erosion, too, as the water moves over the ground.
Does surface water and ground water cause erosion and deposition?
no because Groundwater does little to contribute to mechanical erosion. However, it can significantly erode chemically
Does water cause erosion?
There are 3 natural causes of erosion: 1) Wind 2) Water 3) Gravity
What type of weather will probably cause the most erosion?
the most weather that is most likely to cause the most erosion is a thunderstom
What was the major cause of the dust bowl?
wind erosion
Does ground water cause erosion?
no
How can ground water contribute tto erosion?
ground water can cause erosion through chemical weathering
Which part of the water cycle might cause erosion?
Precipitation will cause erosion. If you are counting collection as part of the water cycle, that can cause erosion, too, as the water moves over the ground.
Do surface water and ground water both cause erosion and deposition?
YES
How does leaching by ground water cause erosion?
small like poo
Does surface water and ground water cause erosion and deposition?
no because Groundwater does little to contribute to mechanical erosion. However, it can significantly erode chemically
How can water cause erosion and deposition?
As water flows, it picks up particles of the ground and carries it along the stream of water. That is erosion. As water deposits into another body of water, for example the Mississippi river into the Gulf of Mexico, those particles of ground are deposited in that area. That is deposition.
Which has more energy to cause erosion quickly moving water or slowly moving water?
Quickly moving water has more energy to cause erosion because quickly moving water digs deeper into the ground than slower water. Hope I Helped!!
What will happen to the ground water if the erosion process in not stopped?
Groundwater is the cause of erosion so the real question you might be asking is "what will happent to all the soil because of groundwater causing erosion"
Can a rock cause a erosion?
No, sand, wind, and water can cause erosion.
What is the biggest cause of erosion?
The biggest cause of erosion is wind and water.
What sre some things that cause erosion?
Water and wind are the cause of most erosion.
