What is the force that pulls downward causing rain and soil to run down a slope?
Soil erosion.
How does gravity work with wind to cause erosion?
The force applied by wind can overcome the force of gravity to move objects from their existing position. Erosion has occurred. As soon as gravity predominates over the wind, the object is deposited. The erosion has been halted.
How do floods change landforms?
It changes by force rubbing up against items creating friction, causing erosion, which can change landforms.
Is weathering the same as a erosion?
No it is not. Erosion is a constant state of wear on a subject by the same force.. where as weathering is the consistant battering of a subject by differnent forces..causing both to change is shape and form and texture.
What is the driving force for erosion?
the driving force for erosion is , when bad things come out of driving that involves erosion.
What is fast erosion?
Fast erosion is when any force (wind, rain, ice, water, etc.) comes in at a massive amount causing erosion to happen quicker and more violently. For example, A monsoon (heavy rain storm) could create a form of fast erosion known as a landslide. If there is a tsunami the force of the water could rip apart coastlines, and nearby land forms.
Does erosion apply force?
Yes. Erosion is weathering. It's can apply force but doesn't have to.
Where is the wind most effective in causing erosion?
Winds are most effective in causing erosion, in the steppes, arid and desert regions/areas.
What forces affect rocks above the earth's surface?
The main force that affects the rocks on the earth's surface is heat and erosion. Erosion causes rocks to have landslides and heat changes their structure causing them to take place as different structures.
How does water flow affact erosion?
It washes away dirt and rock, causing erosion.
Which force of erosion is the most important?
The most important and strongest force of erosion is Water.
How has erosion affected humans Select all that apply?
Erosion is causing man-made structures to be more vulnerable to storms.Erosion is causing an increased loss of farmland
