Why are some areas more affected by wind erosion than other areas are?

This is because this area is less covered making it more vulnerable to the wind. Also it depends on what landscape it is on. For example it could be in a wet place and it wouldn't erode as much but in a dry place it will because of soil that can't hold itself.

How can a watershed be affected?
A watershed is the landform that separates two catchment areas. Commonly a ridge or a spur. The form of the watershed may be affected by erosion, or more rarely, by tectonic land uplift / subsidence forces.
What causes mechanical weathering to take place the fastest?
It depends on the location. Dry warm areas will experience more wind erosion than a wet tropical area. Seasonal cold/warm areas will experience more frost weathering than the first two areas mentioned. Wet tropical areas will experience more erosion from plant growth than other areas.
How does erosion hurt some area's yet benefit others?
How does erosion hurt some areas yet benefit others?Erosion can take soil from areas, degrading agriculture, and deposit it downstream, improving agriculture in those areas.
How has erosion affected humans Select all that apply?
Erosion is causing man-made structures to be more vulnerable to storms.Erosion is causing an increased loss of farmland
Why is erosion more common in damp areas with a lot of rain than dry areas?
dry areas have tightly packed soil , which is actually erode by a runoff
Which other areas were affected by the industrial revolution?
mainly the most affected areas areBritainGermanyjapanLa's Vegaschinaand more

How do you protect coastal areas from erosion?
we can save it by producing more tree and plants

Does erosion create soil?
It's the other way around. Erosion takes soil away and removes it. Erosion is bad for the soil. The more erosion there is, the less soil there is.
Do steep areas with heavy rainfall or dry regions with few trees suffer more from erosion compound subject?
Steep areas with heavy rainfall usually tend to suffer more.
What keeps top soil from washing away?
Tree roots can be very helpful in reducing erosion. Which is why deforested areas can be a problem, with landslip, erosion and subsidence becoming more common.
Name a major landmark that was affected by weathering and erosion?
In my Social Studies book, it said that the Rocky Mountain's peaks were worn down more than the Appalachian's even though it was younger, because there was more erosion in that area of the Rocky Mountains.
What is an increase in carbon in the atmosphere likely to affect coastal areas such as those in North Carolina?
more flooding (apex)
