The two theories if hoodoo formation (aside from metaphysical reasons) are:
* Water eroded and cracked the harder cap rock on the hoodoos to be. The water in the cracks froze and thawed cracking off chips which were washed away. When the rough shape of the hoodoo was formed the cap rock biscuit acted as an umbrella to protect the center of the hoodoo. The outer edges then rounded off with ongoing spalling of rock in cycles of wetting and freexzing. * Sand blown by the wind eroded the hoodoos from soft rock. This is discredited by the lack of a single eroded side to the hoodoos caused by prevailing winds

What is the strongest type of erosion?
If you're speaking of natural erosion, it is generally caused by weather - ie, it's the same thing - but can also be caused by chemical reaction.
Which type of event is most likely to form canyons and valleys?
Erosion
What type of erosion is a mudslide?
Mudslide is an example of Masswasting process. It is caused by the downward movement of mud through a slope. So Mudslide could be referred to as a vertical erosion.
How does water erosion form?
Erosion caused by waves is known as Hydraulic Action, which mostly consists of air bubbles being forced into cracks in rocks. Waves also cause abrasion whereby material transported in the wave collides at speed with a rock face, wearing it away. Wave erosion is a type of marine erosion.
Which type of bacteria caused disease the S form or R form?
s form

Which type of erosion is caused by moving masses of ice?
The type of erosion that is caused by moving masses of ice is called glacial erosion.
What type of erosion is caused by sheet flow?
sheet erosion
Water erosion is a type of?
water erosion is a type of weathering caused by water.
Which type of erosion is causing by moving masses of ice?
The type of erosion that is caused by moving masses of ice is called glacial erosion.
This type of erosion had the biggest effect on the Grand Canyon?
Water erosion caused by the Colorado River.
What type of erosion is caused by moving masses of ice?
glacial
Ice is a type of erosion why?
Ice is a type of erosion because when ice is melted caused by the weather and anything weathered into something else is the process of erosion. Hope I helped!!
