dust flying in the air
what is the difference between gravitational erosion and wind erotion? what are the similarities betwen the two? give examples of what happens during these occurrences
water erosion and wind erosion
Wind erosion - dust storms, sand movement in desertsWater erosion - rivers (grand canyon), sea,Gravity erosion - land slides
Examples of soil erosion include water erosion caused by heavy rainfall, wind erosion in arid regions, and tillage erosion from agricultural practices. Other examples include erosion caused by deforestation, construction activities, and mining operations.
Deflation: removal of small particles from the ground surface by wind. Abrasion: wearing down of rocks and landforms by wind-blown particles. Saltation: transportation of sand-sized particles in short jumps by wind. Creep: slow movement of soil particles across the ground due to wind. Sand dunes: formation of mounds of sand through wind deposition and erosion.
erosion doesn't effect wind, wind causes erosion
Wind erosion and sediment transport by wind.
When materials are removed from the surface and changed into something else. Erosion can be by wind, water, ice, waves or other natural agents.
Coastal erosion: where waves and currents wear away shorelines over time. Riverbank erosion: where flowing water gradually removes soil and sediment from the banks of rivers. Wind erosion: where wind carries and deposits soil and sediments, causing changes to the landscape.
Dry and arid regions with loose, dry soil such as deserts, arid grasslands, or exposed slopes are most likely to be affected by wind erosion. Examples include the Sahara Desert in Africa and the Gobi Desert in Asia.
wind is an agent of erosion which causes sheet erosion
The three forms of erosion are water, wind, and ice. Water erosion occurs through the movement of water, wind erosion happens when wind carries and deposits sediment, and ice erosion is when glaciers or ice sheets move and reshape the landscape.
