The major cause of weathering and erosion is?
Wind and water are the major causes of weathering and erosion.
What can cause erosion?
wind, water, and ice
Can water and wind cause the loss of soil that is not protected by plant cover?
Yes, it is called soil erosion. The plant cover reduces soil erosion by water and wind.
Does the lack of plants in an area reduce soil erosion by wind and water?
no
Dunes reduce beach erosion because?
They block and slow down wind, reducing wind erosion.Specialized plants grow on them, which reduces water erosion as the plants will uptake rainfallThe specialized plants will also bind the sand together with their roots, keeping it more compact and reducing erosion further.
What do trees act as to reduce wind erosion?
Windbreaks
How can a farmer slow erosion by the wind?
Farmers can reduce wind erosion by planting rows of trees around the perimeters of their fields to slow the wind at ground level.
How can humans reduce wind erosion?
One way is to introduce vegetation as this acts as a windbreak, but apart from this there really isn't a lot you can do about wind erosion.
How erosion will be influenced by grass and shrubs?
Grass and shrubs reduce surface erosion by protecting soil from wind, rain and runoff. The roots of the plants also decrease erosion because a root ball has more stability than loose soil.
How does the use of a wind barrier reduce erosion on a farm?
The main agents of soil erosion are wind, water, and tillage. A wind barrier keeps topsoil from blowing away
What can be done to reduce the amount of erosion happening?
The planting of more trees can protect soil from wind and water erosion. The terracing of hillsides also helps to reduce the effects of erosion.
How do plants reduce erosion?
their roots hold the soil in place
Do trees and plants help reduce deposition or erosion?
deposition
What are the 5 erosion?
wind, water, gravity, plants, animals.
How do plants get around?
wind, animals, sometimes water or erosion
