What is the process of erosion and how is it related to weathering?
Weathering breaks up the substance, and erosion causes it to move.
What river stage causes the greatest amount of erosion?
young
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 do streams develop?
Runoff causes erosion which makes ripples in the ground and the some ripples turn into gullies (small rivers or streams) that may end up like the Grand Canyon..
What are 6 causes of erosion?
I'm notsure but I got Water, Streams, Rivers, Soil, Wind ,and well that's all I got .
How does the 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 do streams and rivers change continuously?
Erosion from the continuous movement of the water causes most changes. The weather, such as drought and rainfall, also contribute to many changes.
What are the causes of soil erosion in the Philippines?
Over-cultivation is the biggest cause of soil erosion in the Philippines. A secondary cause is the amount of rainfall the country receives.
What type of erosion causes a beach?
The type of erosion that causes sand is water erosion.
How does the destruction of the rainforests most likely affect the soil in the region?
It causes a large amount of soil to be lost to erosion.
Why do mountain streams have V-shaped valleys?
Mountain streams have V-shaped valleys because of the erosive force of running water. The water flowing in the stream wears away the rock and soil in the valley through processes like abrasion and hydraulic action, creating a downward sloping V shape. This erosion deepens and widens the valley over time, forming the characteristic V-shaped valleys seen in mountainous regions.
Does moving water erode land?
Any type of erosion is a cause for international concern, water and wind are the two primary causes accounting for more than 80% of the problem. Water erosion includes river and streams, rainfall, coastal erosion, freezing and thawing, glaciers and floods. Moving water erodes the land
