Describe the agents of erosion and how they affect earth's landforms?
One agent of erosion is by running water. It affects the earth's landform by the rapid running of water erodes rock. Also it depends on the slope as well. For example, water eroded much of earths land form and created the Grand Canyon. Another agent is wind. Wind causes ripples on sand dunes as well as holes in rocks.
How can groundwater erosion result in the formation of a sinkhole?
When too much erosion occurs in a cave the of the cave will collapse and create a sinkhole.
Dry sandy region much of wind erosion?
Desert
What type of weathering occurs to granite?
Granite is a very resilient type of rock and is not prone to much erosion. types of erosion that could occur to granite are acid rain, coastal erosion (weather and salt from the sea damaging it) and weather erosion. it would take an extremely long period of time for erosion to become apparent.
Is wind erosion more powerful than water erosion?
not at all. water is by far more dense therefore liter per liter, its way heavier. erosion happpens when partices are rubbed off an object, changing its shape. because water is much heavier than air. frictional force due to the mass of water will do much more erosion to an object
What happened to countries that was bombed?
They suffered damage. How much damage depends on how much bombing they suffered and how accurate it was.
How does weathering change land forms?
The higher the land is, the colder it will be. Valleys will usually be less windy and drier than other parts of the land. The climate of any given area of land depends on how much solar energy it absorbs.
What is intensive cultivation?
It's when highly productive grains are introduced to an area causing the land to work harder. Working the land harder eventually leads to the deterioration of the soil, erosion, and the decreased productivity of the land as a whole. It's when a farmer uses up all land available because not much land is available to farm on.
How much erosion occurs in Florida?

What is depletion how does it formed?
depletion is related to erosion and soil erosion they are pretty much formed the same way hoped this helped :)

How does erosion affect coastlines?
Erosion affects a coastline by dragging sand into the water, making the beach much smaller. Sometimes, erosion brings insome sand and rocks on the backwash of the waves.
Does erosion makes it difficult for plants?
First of all plants don't affect erosion in fact, they help us to stop soil from eroding. The process of wearing away of soil slowly over a period of time by wind , water , etc. is called soil erosion . The roots of the plants hold the soil and its particles together to prevent the soil from erosion . That's why we must plant trees to stop soil from eroding. =D
What is vertical erosion?
Vertical erosion is when the depth of the river is greater than the width causing erosion to take place on the bed of the river. This is also when lots of water enters the river but not as much is exiting it.
Dry sandy region much of wind erosion?
Desert
