What are 5 examples of wind erosion?
well in school i learned about wind erosion and water erosion and others . here are a few examples : when wind hits rock ,when wind pushes waves and hits rock and wind hits cliffs
Where does the storm surge in a hurricane comes from?
Hurricanes have very strong winds -- out over the water this wind pushes water and piles it up. This piled up water can become very high, certainly higher than normal tides. When this water rolls over the shore it's called a storm surge. Since hurricanes are large areas of wind rotating counter clockwise, the area above the center pushes water onto land and the area below center pushes water away from land. This is one reason the north side of the storm is called the bad or dirty side.
How often does upwelling occur?
When cool nutrient rich water is driven to the surface by wind, replacing warmer and nutrient depleted water, this is known as upwelling. This stimulates the synthesis of organic compounds and helps fishing productivity.
How does wind cause erosion?
The wind picks up tiny particles of sand and dirt and blows it into whatever it is eroding. That's why sometimes you see things that are only eroded to a certain height, because the wind can't lift the particles that high. Wind causes erosion by picking up small bits of gravel,sand, and small rocks and blows them onto a surface. Five agents of erosion are glaciers, moving water, water, wind and waves. Well, wind causes erosion by blowing sand, dirt, water on beaches, etc. When the wind blows on ( for example) sand, it pushes it, perhaps, downhill, and the sand is eroded away.
Is there wind in the water cycle?
Yes there is wind in water cycle. Wind provides a media to water vapors.
How does wind start a wave?
As wind travels across the water's surface, it pushes against the water and energy in the wind is absorbed by the water.
How wave generated in sea?
The waves usually get their energy from the wind. The wind pushes against any small irregularity in the water, creating small ripples, pushes against the small ripples producing larger waves, etc.The waves usually get their energy from the wind.

As wind travels across the water's surface it pushes against the water and energy in the wind is absorbed by the water What does the interaction between the wind's energy and the water form?
It is NOT tides. I did this on study island, and the CORRECT ANSWER: WAVES
Why does the shape and height of the wave depends on the speed of the wind?
This is because the waves formed in the sea are caused by the blowing wind. As the wind blows over the water,stream of wind pushes the overlying water towards the direction it is moving.Therefore,the speed of water determines the size and shape of the wind.
What makes non-living things move?
Wind, water, other forces that that pushes or pulls the object.
How do boat sails work?
Very simply, by using the wind as a form of propulsion by the use of sails. Either the wind 'pushes' the vessel or it 'pulls' it through the water.

How does oil spread on water?
well oil is dense than water so it floats and the wind or larger body makes a wave so it pushes it across the water
How do cloulds move?
The wind pushes the clouds.
Why do ocean currents move?
they move because the wind and gravity pushes the ocean causing it to move from ocean to ocean.The gravity from the moon also impacts the oceans movement.The wind moves the water around spreading the water on the earth.
How do water and mineral salts get to the leaves and the other parts of the plant?
because sometimes there is wind and the wind pushes the miniral rocks around so it spreads. For the water there are little tiny cracks or tunnels in the ground and the water can go thru to plant to plant ! so that is the answer.
What direction does the Buck River flow?
The Buck River flows North because wind currents and the hill pushes the water up north.
