What else can I help you with?
Is desert pavement commonly formed by water erosion?
No, desert pavement is caused by wind erosion - deflation.
What happens when water gets in your brakes?
Not much. it increases stopping distance slightly while discs are wet, but they dry out pretty fast. Just tap the pedal a few times when stopping on a rainy day before you hold.
What does water do to pavement when it continues to freeze and thaw?
When water freezes and thaws repeatedly on pavement, it can penetrate cracks and cause the pavement to expand and contract, leading to the formation of potholes and cracks. This process, known as freeze-thaw cycling, weakens the pavement structure and accelerates deterioration. Regular maintenance and proper drainage can help minimize these effects.
How much water does someone waste when they hose down they concrete pavement?
it depends on how big or small the pavement is and how fast they do it measure the patio then ask me again
What is concrete pavement?
Concrete pavement is a type of pavement made from a mixture of cement, water, and aggregates such as sand and gravel. It is used in roads, sidewalks, driveways, and other outdoor surfaces due to its durability, strength, and long lifespan. Concrete pavement provides a smooth and stable surface for vehicles and pedestrians.
How does pavement get cracked?
Typically, water seeps into a small crack in the pavement. As water freezes, it expands, making the crack bigger. When this ice melts, a greater amount of water can get into the enlarged crack. This process repeats, each time making the crack larger. Of course, other factors such as erosion of the underlying surface and even earthquakes can cause pavement cracks.
Why does water make pavement slippery?
Water on pavement reduces the friction between the surface and object in contact, making it easier for the object to slide. The thin layer of water acts as a lubricant, decreasing traction and increasing the likelihood of slips and falls.
How can runoff from pavement contribute to water pollution?
Runoff from pavement can pick up pollutants like motor oil, heavy metals, and litter as it flows over the surface. This contaminated runoff can then enter storm drains and eventually make its way into rivers, lakes, and oceans, causing water pollution. The lack of vegetation or soil on pavement surfaces also limits natural filtration processes, allowing pollutants to be carried directly into water bodies.
When your vehicle loses contact with the pavement and rides on a thin layer of water it is?

You have streets but no pavement you have cities but no buildings you have forests but no trees you have rivers yet no water. What are you?

Is there more runoff on pavement than on grass?
Yes there is. Because if it is in the grass it will soak into the soil. :)
Why do mirages of puddles appear on hot pavement and in the desert?
The air above the pavement is very hot and reflects light differently than cooler air making it appear as if there is water on the road.
