How soil erosion occur when tropical rain forest is removed from an area?
I think it is because when trees are removed from rainforest's, when it rains the mud from the soil runs into the water and causes soil erosion.
What natural process can most likely be reduced or prevented by the introduction of such plant growth?
Soil erosion!!
What is the soil moving slowly downhill called?
Erosion. More specifically in soils this is likely to be creep or solifluction. These are types of mass wasting.
What is the explanation for the types of soil erosion?
SOIL EROSION: The process by which top layer of the soil gets weathered away by agents like wind, water, glaciers is called as soil erosionfollowing are three types of soil erosion:Sheet erosion: Sheet erosion involves the removal of a uniform thin layer of soil by raindrop splash or water run-off.Gullies erosion: Gully erosion occurs when runoff water accumulates, and then rapidly flows in narrow channels during or immediately after heavy rains or melting snow, removing soil to a considerable depth.Wind erosion: The erosion in which the wind picks up and carries loose soil particles
How do you explain how the steepness of the land affects soil erosion?
The steeper the hillside, the higher chance for soil erosion.
How is the food supply being affected soil erosion?
Soil erosion is a natural process caused by two main elements - wind and water. Soil erosion is often speed up on farming and especially on cropped land. The exposure of an area to wind erosion depends on climate, soil texture and vegetative cover
Which soil layer gets affected most by erosion?
The topsoil, known to soil scientists as the "A" horizon.
What type of erosion is most likely to occur during a flood?
soil erosion
What type of erosion most likely to occur during a flood?
soil erosion
What type of erosion is most likely to occur during flooding?
soil erosion
Who are greatly affected when soil erosion happens?
animals,plants,and people
What will happen if the top layer of the soil is exposed?
It will leave the soil exposed to wind and rainfall, and therefore erosion. If it's a small area, it will likely fill in with surrounding vegetation.
Which layer of the soil profile would be affected the most by weathering and erosion?
Topsoil
What deserts are affected by erosion?
All deserts are affected by erosion. There are several different types of erosion, and while the deserts may be unaffected by some of them, such as water erosion, because obviously, deserts don't get much rain. Deserts are affected by wind erosion, though. As the winds blow in the desserts, it wears away at the soil.
Why do the top layer of soil get affected by erosion and weathering?
It is loose soil so its gets blown and washed away easiest.
How does trees help in preventing soil erosion?
Trees help in preventing soil erosion by holding the soil particles together with the help of their roots. Roots are like a net holding a large area of soil particles together and thus preventing soil erosion.
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
