Wind and water are important causes of what?
-- Structural deterioration.-- Stunted vegetation.-- Soil erosion.-- 'Weathering' of rock and land forms.
What is the importance of weathering in geomorphology?
weathering helps in production of rock waste.Regoliths are those weathered meterials that are found above the unweathered layer of crust in weathering zone.It helps in soil formation by boosting the erosion process.It causes the lowering of land forms including the evolution.Weathering results in massmovement.
How does weathering occur in hot deserts?
The main forms of weathering in the Sahara are exfoliation (due to expansion and contraction of rocks and rock particles), abrasion (mainly through the wind moving sand particles over each other and blowing sand grain against rocks) and finally water erosion - although not very common, flash flooding in areas can cause the movement and erosion of sand, rocks and stones.
What kind of weathering is the breaking of rocks?
The naturally occurring breaking of rocks into smaller pieces is called physical (or mechanical) weathering. The other forms are biological and chemical weathering. All result in the diminution in size of the original rock.
What are the three forms of erosion water wind and?
the three types of erosion are wind, water and ICE
Is a cave weathering or erosion?
A cave is an agent of erosion. More specifically, chemical weathering forms caves.
What do all forms of erosion involve?
Erosion can be caused by rain, wind, glaciers, and other agents, but all forms of erosion involve weathering.
How is erosion formed?
Erosion is formed by weathering which then forms caves, meandering rivers, valleys and waterfalls.
How do weathering and erosion affect the future of the earth?
Weathering and erosion will effect the earth's future because land forms will be changed and create new rivers, deltas, etc.
What forms when agents of mechanical weathering break rocks into smaller pieces?
erosion
What are all the forms of erosion?
All forms of erosion are weathering, mass movement, I am not positive if deposition is one of them. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. If I am wrong I apologize in advance. ;)
What is the psychical weathering?
Physical weathering is any process that causes erosion. Volcanic eruptions, wind, precipitation and earthquakes are the most common forms.
What are two kind of land forms in the southwest that were formed by erosion?
Sea arches and seastacks
What forms of weathering and erosion occur in Italy?
in Venice the sky comes crashing down and then we all die........
How would hurricanes cause weathering or erosion?
Hurricanes cause erosion or weathering because, hurricanes are forms of large water. Water is one of the agents of weathering next to wind, ice and gravity. Water(in hurricanes) can pick up sediment and rock particles and spread them or move them into different places.
How do Land forms or topography associated with formal structures in massive igneous rocks occur?
Through the processes of weathering and erosion.
Wind and water are important causes of what?
-- Structural deterioration.-- Stunted vegetation.-- Soil erosion.-- 'Weathering' of rock and land forms.
