the process by which materials are removed from the surface and changed into something else. It works by hydraulic or eolian actions and transport of solids (sediment, soil, rock and other particles) in the natural environment, and leads to the deposition of these materials elsewhere. It usually occurs due to transport by wind, water, or ice; by down-slope creep of soil and other material under the force of gravity; or by living organisms, such as burrowing animals, in the case of bio-erosion.

Which process caused the Dust Bowl?
Wind erosion.
Which agent of erosion is responsible for the most erosion?
Wind is the weakest agent of erosion
Where does erosion generally move rock fragments?
Erosion is the removal of solids. This movement can be caused by wind, water, ice, or gravity. There is not a general location for erosion to move rock fragments. Although most erosion moves rock fragments to a lower location in regards to elevation. Although with wind erosion it can be in the direction of a constant wind force.
Erosion is caused largely by wind and water but also on a very large scale by?
A. Glaciers
What is the most effective agent of erosion in deserts?
wind.
Most soil erosion is caused by?
Deserts are eroded by rainwater run-off and the wind. Plants roots secure the soil around them, but other loose material quickly becomes eroded.
Erosion and weathering are caused mostly by?
wind and water.
Does earths tilt cause erosion?
N0- erosion is caused by wind and by water.
What is erosion caused by wind that can lower the land surface?
scour, or eolian erosion
Erosion is caused largely by wind and water?
Yes
Which process caused the Dust Bowl?
Wind erosion.
Where is wind erosion most common?
Wind erosion is most common in arid climates where there is little to novegetation.
Is a erosion caused by wind a chemical change?
It is physical change
Is desert pavement commonly formed by water erosion?
No, desert pavement is caused by wind erosion - deflation.
Wheathering and erosion of earths crust are primarily caused by?
water wind.
Which is the most common cause of erosion in deserts?
In dry deserts a combination of exfoliation and wind erosion. In arctic deserts wind erosion would be the most prominent
The moving of weathered rocks and soil by wind water or ice is called?
erosion, which is caused by wind or water
