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 deposition described as the opposite of erosion?
Deposition is the process of sediment settling out of a transporting medium (such as water or wind) and coming to rest on the ground. It is described as the opposite of erosion because erosion involves the movement and transport of sediment away from a location, while deposition involves the accumulation and settling of sediment at a location.
What does horizontal or lateral erosion mean?
Lateral or horizontal erosion means erosion taken place on the sides of a footpath or river bank. The opposite if lateral/horizontal erosion is vertical erosion, where erosion is taken place under the river bed or the bottom of a footpath.
When two sea caves on opposite sides of a headland are eroded and unite what forms?
When two sea caves on opposite sides of a headland unite, they form an arch. Over time, continued erosion can cause the arch to collapse, leaving behind a stack. Subsequent erosion can erode the stack to form a sea stack.
Which of the following does not directly cause erosion A heat B gravity C wind D running water?
Agents for erosion and transporting sediments include gravity, wind, water (including currents), or ice. Sunlight and heating do not directly cause erosion, except through freezing and thawing (the opposite of heating).
Doe grass speed up the rate of erosion?
No, just the opposite will happen.

What is the opposite meaning of gully?
The opposite of gully is hill or plateau, as gully refers to a narrow, deep ravine or valley typically formed by water erosion.
Does weathering and erosion work together continuously to build up rocks and make them bigger?
No, quite the opposite.
What is the relation between erosion and deposition?
They are opposite processes. Water running down a mountain carries soil with it (erosion) until the water reaches a river mouth where it deposits (deposition) the carried soil.
What does horizontal or lateral erosion mean?
Lateral or horizontal erosion means erosion taken place on the sides of a footpath or river bank. The opposite if lateral/horizontal erosion is vertical erosion, where erosion is taken place under the river bed or the bottom of a footpath.

What is nonclastic rock?
clastic rocks are rocks that are broken off other rocks or sediments of rocks and come from many rocks through erosion nonfoliated is the opposite
What effects do plants have on soil?
Some plants, such as beans, put nitrogen, an incredibly essential nutrient, back into the soil, whereas others do the opposite. Also, they can prevent erosion.
