How can sediment transported in a stream cause abrasion?
water can cause abrasion as rock's bumpinto and scrape each other as they are moved by waves and rivers.
What are three things that cause erosion and deposition?
Below are the four agents of erosion, so take what you need:Fluvial erosion - rivers mainly. Rivers erode by hydraulic action, abrasion, attrition and solution. Deposition occurs because the river has run out of energy, or energy is low.Marine erosion - oceans and seas. These erode by hydraulic action and abrasion mainly, as the ocean has great sheer force. They do not transport much material, as most of the work is done by gravity, so most material is left directly under where it came from, but separate nonetheless.Glacial erosion - glaciers. Glaciers erode by plucking and abrasion, then deposit the moraine (glacial load) at the snoutAeolian erosion - wind. Wind erodes mainly by blasting sediment at rocks, which is classic abrasion. Sediment is often deposited as a dune.All agents of erosion cause both erosion and deposition as ultimately all eroded material is deposited.
What kind of weathering occurs when abrasion and other natural agents physically wear away rock?
physical
Coastal regions are often affected by abrasion what process would cause increased abrasion along a coastal region?
Stormy weather.
Can wind cause erosion though ablation and abrasion?
true
What are three things that can cause abrasion?
1. Water 2. Wind 3.Gravity
What the effect of abrasion?
Wind-carried sand polish rock and cause a little abrasion.
Do animals cause abrasion?
yes

Is abrasion a cause of mechanical weathering?
yes
What kind of weathering occurs when abrasion and other natural agents physically wear away rock?
physical
Can sand being blown by wing cause abrasion?
Yes it certainly can - and amazingly rapid and severe abrasion, too.
What type of wound does scrapping and rubbing cause?
Abrasion
Can abrasion cause potholes in the road?
Yes, it is possible.
Coastal regions are often affected by abrasion what process would cause increased abrasion along a coastal region?
Stormy weather.
What are two results in which waves cause erosion?
abrasion and corrosion ?
