What is the lifting and removal of fine sediments by wind?
It is called wind erosion .
What is wind erosion?
Wind erosion is the movement of material by the wind and occurs when the lifting power of moving air is able to exceed the force of gravity and the friction which holds an object to the surface. The movement of sand dunes is an example of wind erosion.
What are two types of wind erosion?
There are different types of wind erosion. The main types of wind erosion include surface erosion, saltation, soil creep and suspension.
What are types of erosions?
There is water erosion, wind erosion, ice erosion, basically anything that breaks down earth materials is erosion.
How is wind erosion different from water and glacier erosion?
Wind does not carry heavy objects.
How does erosion effect wind?
erosion doesn't effect wind, wind causes erosion
Where have you seen the effect of water or wind?
In erosion
How do wind erosion effect soil?
Wind Erosion effects the soil really really bad it blows away plants and can damage the sand,
What factors can effect soil erosion?
There are 3 very big factors that can have a major effect on soil erosion. These factors are water, ice, and wind.
What will wind and water erosion not affect?
It will not effect any homes or trees.
What are wind and water erosion not likely to effect?
Wind and water erosion are not likely to affect the tides. Tides result from the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon on the oceans of the earth.
What is erosion of sediments by wind called?
wind erosion
How does erosion effect soil?
Erosion causes the loss of topsoil. Topsoil from thousand of acres of farmland lost to water and wind erosion each yaer in the united states alone.
How does erosion effect The South Texas Brush Country?
the wind dries out the land which makes it a dessert
What happens to sediment when the wind slows down?
Wind affects the erosion of rock, so if the wind decreases then the erosion decreases.
How do human activities affect the natural process of erosion?
Humans have no effect on wind erosion.Humans are causing global warming, which is then changing the climate. This may mean that wind direction and strength changes, which might cause more or less erosion, but that is the only way humans can affect wind erosion.
What does wind erosion form?
wind erosion is by gravity and air pressure makes wind push against Earth's surface causing: wind erosion.
