What is the influence of erodibility and erosivity?
Erodibility refers to the ease with which a particular soil can become detached and transported by wind, water, or ice. Erosivity is a description of the ability of typical natural forces (wind or rain) in a geographic area to erode existing soil. These characteristics interact, and the combined effect can be significant. Assigning values to erodibility and erosivity is helpful in predicting potential erosion and soil loss from any parcel of land. When the soil is easily detached and transported (erodibility is high), significant soil loss can occur even in relatively mild rain or wind events. When the climate is particularly rainy or windy (erosivity is high), even well consolidated soils can be eroded. when both are high, extreme measures will be needed.
In what ways are sediments transported?
By water or wind
What is the main mechanism of wind erosion?
Erosion is the action of exogenous processes which remove soil and rock from one location on the Earth's crust, then transport it to another location where it is deposited. Eroded sediment may be transported just a few millimeters, or for thousands of kilometers.
What occurs in wind erosion A. Wet soil is transported away. B. Dry soil is transported away C. Small rocks are left behind. D. Large rocks are left behind.?
Large rocks are left behind and dry soil is transported away. B- Dry soil is transported away in a process called deflation
Why did drought conditons cause the soil to be easily eroded by the wind?
drought was one main factor that caused the dust bowl.
How is soil transported?
Soil is transported by erosion from flowing water, glaciers and wind (mainly in deserts).
How is soil eroded?
In the plains, soil erosion occurs in farmlands after a crop is harvested. The soil then lies bare and can be easily eroded by water and wind.
What am i describing when material that has been eroded and transported is dropped by the water wind or ice that was carrying it?
The deposition of sediment.
What are small particles of soil or rocks that are transported by water or the wind?
sediments
Why doesnt soil always stay where it is formed?
Soil can be transported by wind, moving water, glaciers and gravity.
What is soil deposited by wind?
transported soil
Most soil erosion is caused by?
Deserts are eroded by rainwater run-off and the wind. Plants roots secure the soil around them, but other loose material quickly becomes eroded.
If a forest was destroyed what would most likely happen to the soil?
it would be eroded by water and wind. What? it's true!
Why did drought conditions cause the soil to be easily eroded by wind?
because it can displace the soil
What is mean by wearing away of soil by wind and rain?
Basically the soil is eroded( broken down, disintegrates) by the wind and rain.
What kind of soil can be eroded easily?
each kind be identified by the size of its particles,by its texture and by tests together as strongly as clay and ar mor easily eroded by water and wind than clay.
What does the sciencetific term erosoin mean?
Erosion is when soil and rock gets eroded away or slowly washed away by water, wind ,etc
