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?
Runoff, which is when excess water flows across the land surface, can cause erosion as it picks up and carries away soil and sediment. This process can be intensified by factors like steep slopes, deforestation, or urbanization, leading to increased erosion and sedimentation in water bodies.
Do surface water and ground water both cause erosion and deposition?
Yes, both surface water and groundwater can cause erosion and deposition. Surface water erodes by carrying sediment, while ground water can dissolve rock and create underground cavities that may collapse, causing erosion. Both types of water can deposit sediment when their velocity decreases, allowing particles to settle out.
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"
What is the difference between erosion and leaching?
Leaching is a type of weathering- not erosion
What is the substance that dirties the air water or ground?
Dirt there are a variety of pollutants that 'dirty' water in the air and ground. products of incomplete combustion from cars for example cause acid precipitation. In the ground, leaching of various chemicals and minerals occur too. Bacterial infections in water are also somewhat common.
What best describes E soil horizon out of the following regolith zone erosion zone residual zone or leaching zone?
E soil horizon best describes the leaching zone, where minerals and nutrients are typically removed by percolating water.
Soaking vegetables in water before cooking causes leaching of water soluble vitamins and minerals?
does soaking vegetables in water before cooking cause leaching of water soluble vitamins and minerals
What causes nutrients in the top soil to be removed?
Soil erosion, leaching, and over-farming can cause nutrients in the topsoil to be removed. Erosion by water or wind can wash away topsoil along with the nutrients it contains. Leaching occurs when water moves nutrients downwards through the soil profile beyond the reach of plant roots. Over-farming without proper nutrient replenishment can deplete the soil of essential nutrients over time.
How does ground water cause erosion?
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.
What is the biggest cause of erosion?
Water erosion, specifically from rainfall and flowing water, is the biggest cause of erosion on Earth. This type of erosion can wear away soil, rock, and other materials over time, shaping landscapes and impacting ecosystems.
