Actually, how long it takes for erosion to happen depends upon what is being eroded and what it doing the eroding. A sloping field or yard without ground cover can be heavily eroded in one rain storm. A granite mountain will take eons.

∙ 8y agoIt depends entirely on specific conditions, such as what is being eroded, what the environment is where the item to be eroded is located, and how much it is exposed. For example, the Cleopatra's Needles survived without any erosion in Egypt for millenia, but eroded almost immediately when brought to New York, London, and Paris. The wetter climate in Europe and the US led to stone eroding much more easily, even though it was no more exposed in Europe and the US as opposed to Egypt.

How does most erosion happen in dry regions?
The erosion is diffrent like wind erosion can happen in dry places
How long does it take for new soil to form after erosion?
100 years
What is weathering and erosion and explain weathering and erosion?
weathering and erosion are steps that happen when it rains.
Where does erosion happen?
Erosion happens on land,which makes it erod :)
How long does weathering and erosion take for rocks?
Weathering and erosion very rarely takes minuets for weathering and erosion to take effect. It usually takes millions of years for a rock to get weathered and eroded.
How long does weathering erosion take?
idk
How long does it take water erosion to erode bedrock?
Wind erosion is an ongoing process.

How cold does it have to be for an erosion to happen?
Erosion due to cold temperatures will happen at 32 F or below, as long as the temperature eventually risies above 32 F. This is erosion due to the freeze-thaw cycle. There are also forms of erosion that result from weather and from water movement, and these forms can occure at any temperature, warm or cold.

What is erosion where does it happen how does it happen?
Erosion is the process by which the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water,wind, etc. Erosion happens mostly on mountains.
How long does weathering and erosion take for rocks?
Weathering and erosion very rarely takes minuets for weathering and erosion to take effect. It usually takes millions of years for a rock to get weathered and eroded.
Must weathering happen before erosion?
Yes, because weathering must happen first so that when the weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, erosion can take place and carry the pieces down by means of transportation.
Do many geologic processes and events happen because of erosion?
they are not do to erosion.
Can erosion only happen after floods?
No. There are many contributing factors to erosion.
