Large or small depression in the land or ocean floor?
A basin is a large or small depression in the surface of land. or the ocean. A basin can be caused by plate tectonics or erosion.
Erosion in a sentence?
Erosion of the land on the opposite side of the river caused the amount of land he owned to increase.
Why is the Earth's land surface irregular despite active erosion since it was formed?
The continued irregularities exist because of the great time required to wear down large features, the surface irregularities caused by erosion, changes caused by glaciation gouging and deposition, tectonic plate movements (with their associated volcanism, mountain building, and stretching), erosion resistant rock layers, and other factors.
How does runoff erode land?
water runoff causes erosion by beating the surface of the land
What creates plateaus?
Plateaus are typically caused by the process of uplift and erosion. Uplift, such as tectonic activity or volcanic activity, raises the land surface to form plateaus. Erosion, primarily by water and wind, then shapes the plateau by wearing down the land surface to create a flat, elevated area.
What is the total process of land surface reduction called?
Degradation
What is a way waves cause erosion?
A way waves cause erosion: waves wear away the land and erode the surface.
What the shape of the surface of the land?
Water, Wind, Wave, and Glacier Erosion as well as Mass Movement (or Erosion, Deposition, and Weathering)
The major agent of erosion that shapes Earth's land surface is moving?
Water.
What processes shape the surface of the land?
Water, Wind, Wave, and Glacier Erosion as well as Mass Movement (or Erosion, Deposition, and Weathering)
What type of erosion causes deflation?
deflation is the lowering of land surface, that results in the winds removal of suface particles.
How can land can be polluted?
On the mining sources the surface is exposed to erosion which destroys the quality of the land.
