Deflation is the removal of worn rock by what?
Wind.
What is the sudden movement of a rock masses as a result of tech tonic earthquakes?
The sudden movement in rock mass causes earthquakes. This is when the rock mass comes together and collapses.
In deserts deflation can sometimes create an area of rock fragments called what?
The area of rocks that deflation creates is called Desert Pavement
What is a movement within the earth that causes buried rock to be exposed at the earth's surface called?
The movement within the Earth that causes buried rock to be exposed at the Earth's surface is called uplift. It refers to the vertical elevation of the Earth's surface.
How does deflation affect the surface in dry regions?
Deflation means that the wind removes sand and rock particles. In dry regions this weathering may mean increased desertification.
What Deflation is the movement of dust sand and rock caused by?
wind A+
What is the movement of dust sand and rock caused by .?
wind A+
What is it called when wind blows silt and dust away in the desert leaving a rock layer behind?
The process is called deflation and the product is called desert pavement.
Deflation is the removal of worn rock by what?
Wind.
What is the sudden movement of a rock masses as a result of tech tonic earthquakes?
The sudden movement in rock mass causes earthquakes. This is when the rock mass comes together and collapses.
What is rock deformation?
it is the movement of tectonic plates due to compression and tension which causes rock to fold and deform
In deserts deflation can sometimes create an area of rock fragments called what?
The area of rocks that deflation creates is called Desert Pavement
What is the removal of rock particles by wind water ice and gravity?
The lifting and removal of loose material by wind is called deflation. (Deflation is a type of erosion) (If you look up deflation, try "deflation geology" because if you don't add geology, only the economic meanings will come up.)
What are small shallow hollows in rock produced by wind deflation?
blowout
What is a movement within the earth that causes buried rock to be exposed at the earth's surface called?
The movement within the Earth that causes buried rock to be exposed at the Earth's surface is called uplift. It refers to the vertical elevation of the Earth's surface.
Erosion that occurs when gravity alone causes rock or sediment to move down a slope?
The type of erosion that occurs when gravity alone causes rock or sediment to move down a slope is called mass movement. The types of mass movement are creep, slump, rock slides, and mudflows.
Deflation is a form of what erosion?
According to scientists, deflation is a form of wind erosion because the wind is responsible for loosening the soil which results in the formation of rock pieces.
