What property of water cause erosion?
Only the action of erosion causes erosion, but water itself causes weathering:ErosionOceansRiversGlaciersWeatheringFreeze-thawSolution (Dissolving)Acid RainWater has no particular property which causes erosion, but its properties do cause weathering: when it freezes it expands, hence freeze-thaw weathering; it is a good solvent, hence it can dissolve soluble minerals, as well as acid, causing acid rain.
Where is eroison?
Erosion occurs almost evrywhere where there is soil. But if u mean "what is erosion", then the answer is: Erosion is the removal of part of the land surface by wind, water, gravity or ice. These agents can only transport matter if the material has first been broken up by weathering.
Does mechanical weathering add the effectiveness of chemical weathering?
it will be influenced, because chemical happens in warm wet area, while are only happens in cold areas :) :) :) :) ONLY A DIRECTIONER WILL IMPROVE IT FOR PUTTING DIRECTIONER FOREVER AND PAULWAYS :) :) :) :) ~Alexia Escutia
Which factors most often cause erosion deposition and weathering?
The four means of erosion are:Fluvial (including rivers)MarineGlacialAeolian (wind)The greatest cause of erosion is debatable, but I believe the greatest factor in erosion is the sea/ocean (Marine) as this causes vast coastal recession, and in this way there is more material eroded than by any other process, but Fluvial is also a major cause. As a result of marine action, eroded fragments do not need to travel far: they only need to fall from a cliff face onto the beach or the sea-bed to count as deposited.The greatest cause of weathering is probably biological weathering, although this is debated. I think this is the greatest cause because there are biological life-forms all over the Earth, and many of these cause weathering. Most other weathering processes rely on extreme environments and exposition to the elements.
Is it true that plants can only cause mechanical weathering?
no because it can use something else than the chemical weathering
How is erosoin different to weathering?
Weathering is different from erosion because it breaks things down. Then erosion carries it away....:) hope i answered your question only thing is I'm learning that in fifth grade right now.
Physical weathering is the type of weathering in which only a materials size or shape is changed?
Yes. Physical weathering is erosion caused by wind, dust, rain, flowing water, collapses, impacts, freezing/thawing, or glaciers.
What effect does weathering and erosion have on the rock cycle?
Weather and erosion only mark a rock. They leave lines /patterns and eventualy work into it.
Why is there no weathering and erosion in the moon?
because there is no weather on the moon. there's no air, no water, no life whatsoever. the only cause of surface changes on the moon are meteors and astronauts

What type of rock can be made from metamorphic rock?
Only sedimentary rock by the weathering, erosion and subsequent deposition of material from the metamorphic rock.

Where is the place where erosion is most likely to happen?
Everywhere as erosion happens due to wind, water and humans. Only it happens at different rates, some fast and some slow.
Why does erosion take place on the crust?
Because erosion only takes place on land

Are fossils the only things that form sand in the deserts?
Sand is composed of small rock particles derived from larger particles which have undergone weathering and erosion.
