What causes moving water to drop sediments it is carrying?
The answer is
What two forces are the main causes of erosion?
Moving water is the largest agent of erosion.
What is it called when a fast moving stream slows down and deposits sediment?
It is called deposition. It occurs as friction or gravity overcomes the force of the moving water.
What causes the shifts in directions of free moving fluids such as air and water?
Coriolis effect
Physical rain definition?
The difference lies in what causes the rainfall to occur. In convectional rainfall, the sun heats the earth and the heat causes moisture from soil, plants and open water bodies to evaporate. This moisture is carried upwards through convective air currents until it reaches a certain altitude. At that point, where the air is cooler, it condenses and creates water droplets (rain). This usually occurs in the afternoon on warm summer days. Frontal rainfall occurs because of the movement of the fronts of two air masses. When a cold front is moving over a mass of warm air, it causes the warm moist air to rise. In this case, rain occurs ahead of the cold front. When a warm front is moving over a mass of cold air, the warm moist air is forced upward, and the rain occurs over or behind the front. Finally, relief rainfall is caused by changes in topography. Moist warm air can be forced upward by mountains, for example, which causes the moisture to condense into rain. This type of rainfall occurs on the side of the mountain away from the wind direction.
What occurs when wind or moving water causes rocks and soil to be?
I am 200% sure that the answer is erosion
What occurs when wind or moving water causes rock and soil to be relocated?
I am 200% sure that the answer is erosion
Why are wind and moving water able to move sediment?
By the water moving on it makes it get wet and causes it to move
How does wind moving the surface of water affect it?
it causes the water to move with it
What causes moving water to drop sediments it is carrying?
The answer is
What is a mass of moving water?
Tide. Tides are masses of moving water. The moons gravitational pull causes the form of a wave to occur.
