Natural anchors to slow or weaken erosion would include trees and plants, as their roots help anchor the soil, and large, natural boulders which can protect the soil on the leeward side.

Is there erosion on the moon?

Not as you are used to on Earth surface. Erosion is caused mainly by water and air movement, which do not exist on the Moon's surface. However, seismic activity and impacts from asteroids may cause effects not dissimilar to erosion.


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.


Why are atoms in their natural state neutral?

because any charged species cannot exist alone.


Why aren't sedimentary rocks found on the moon?

The formation of most sedimentary rock is dependent on the processes of weathering, erosion and deposition; processes which do not exist on the moon except for solar and meteor bombardment.


Why is there very little weathering or erosion on the moon's surface?

This is mainly because there is little or no atmosphere. Most agents of erosion cannot act in the environment as it is too cold too. Wind cannot act as there is little gas to be moved; rivers cannot exist as it is too cold, and then you must consider that the water cycle is essential for rivers to be generated; there are no oceans on the moon; there are no surface glaciers on the moon. Therefore, the moon has little or no erosion or, indeed, weathering, as this would require an atmosphere

Can natural selection exist with out evolution?

Perhaps not, but evolution can exist without natural selection.


How does natural plasma exist?

Natural plasma exist only at very high temperatures, or low temperature vacuums.


Why is the breaking of rocks important?

The natural breaking apart of rock (weathering) is responsible, along with erosion, for the release and dispersal of vast quantities of nutrients which contribute to the food chain. Without weathering of rock, soils would not exist.


How can gravity contribute to erosion?

Gravity causes mass movement with sediments. Examples of this are anything with slope. Since gravity pulls everything to the center of the Earth, and natural slopes exist, gravity pulls rocks down different varieties of slopes. An example of this can be a mud slide. This can cause sediments to be pulled downward and deposited in erosion.

The Phoshpholipid are the predominant lipids of cell membrane. They can act as anchors to cell proteins. Phospholipids can also exist out of cell membrane.
