How can erosion sort sediment?
well, as it is being transported it can be sorted by its size and sediment is often well sorted when it is moved a lot by wind or waves. poorly sorted sediment often results from rapid transportation perhaps by a storm, flash flood, or a volcanic eruption. Sediment left at the edges of glaciers is also poorly sorted.
How deforestration results in soil erosion?
Deforestation results in soil erosion because the usual trees that were holding the soil in place has been destroyed causing the area to be easily infiltrated by various types of erosion factors
What are results of natural erosion?
Dirty water, low plant life.
Is a horn results of erosion or deposition?
Both. The horn itself may be the result of ancient sedimentary depositional processes, but glacial erosion contributes to its characteristic shape.
How does soil erosion benefit a farmer?
Land is irreplaceable. Soil erosion results in crop reduction and farmers expend a lot of time and energy taking measures to prevent soil erosion.

How could a rock or a mineral become sediment?
It is through erosion that rocks and minerals become sediments. The weathering and transportation of particles of rock results in the deposition of sediments. We know that wind, water, ice, gravity and some other factors are behind erosion.
How sediment control erosion?
Typically, when the earth's surface is exposed to the impacts of rainfall, there is an increase in the volume and velocity of runoff. This sets off a chain reaction that results in the transport and deposition of sediment, reduced stream capacity, and ultimately increased stream scour and flooding.
When a fast moving rivers slows it results in the deposition of?
Sediment

What are two results in which waves cause erosion?
abrasion and corrosion ?
What fine sediment results from the crushing of rock under a glacier?
It is called rock flour.
Erosion and water pollution are likely the results of which economic sector?
Agriculture
What are results of natural erosion?
Dirty water, low plant life.
What are results of wave action?
causes beach erosion and changes the coastline
Is a horn results of erosion or deposition?

What are the two results of wave erosion along a coast?
way a wave erosion happens is it collects abrasion:) there ya gooo<333
