What is process of wearing away or moving of soil and rock by water wind and ice?
surface erosion-the process by which the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water, glaciers, winds, waves, etc.
What is meaning wind erosion?
Wind erosion, is the process of wearing away of landforms on the earths surface by the action of wind (ie, fast moving air), movement, motion and aggresiveness.
What is wind erosion?
Wind erosion is the movement of material by the wind and occurs when the lifting power of moving air is able to exceed the force of gravity and the friction which holds an object to the surface. The movement of sand dunes is an example of wind erosion.
The major agent of erosion that has shaped Earth's surface is?
Of the agents of erosion (water, wind, and ice), moving water is by far the largest contributor.
Why does weathering speed up the process of erosion?
Weathering breaks up rock into smaller particles which are more easily transported by the agents of erosion (wind, moving water, and moving ice).
What is process of wearing away or moving of soil and rock by water wind and ice?
surface erosion-the process by which the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water, glaciers, winds, waves, etc.
How the way in which wind and moving water reshape earths surface?
Wind and moving water reshape the Earth's surface through the process of erosion.
The major agent of erosion that shapes Earth's land surface is moving?
Water.
What is the term for the wearing away of the earth's surface by wind glaciers and moving water?
Erosion.
What is a major cause of erosion on earths surface?
one major contributor is moving water
How does the rate of groundwater flow compare with that of moving ocean water or river currents?
Groundwater flow is very slow compared to currents in surface water, generally moving at less then one and one-half meters per day.
What erosional agent accounts for most of the erosion on Earth's surface?
Moving water is the main erosional agent on the surface of the Earth.
What are two ways the earth breaks down?
earthquake earthquake Weathering and Erosion. Weathering is the breaking down of the earth's surface, and erosion is the moving of weathered material.
What is meaning wind erosion?
Wind erosion, is the process of wearing away of landforms on the earths surface by the action of wind (ie, fast moving air), movement, motion and aggresiveness.
What role has moving water played in shaping Earth's surface?
this causes erosion
Which type of erosion is causing by moving masses of ice?
The type of erosion that is caused by moving masses of ice is called glacial erosion.
How do sanitary landfill sites prevent chemicals from moving into the groundwater?
To prevent chemicals from moving into the groundwater, sanitary landfills use plastic liners and compacted clay .
