In an area next to a river there are many trees. In this area very little erosion occurs. What explains this?

The deep tree roots help prevent the soil from eroding.

Was the Arkansas River Valley formed by erosion or depostion?
The Arkansas River was formed by erosion, not deposition.
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.
What will happen to the outside edges of a meander?
In the outside of the meander there is mostly erosion that is found because that is where the highest energy and velocity occurs. This energy and velocity causes the bank to undercut and collapse. On top of that the river bed becomes deeper as time passes.
What do you call the process in which a river removes its soil and rocks?
It is called Erosion.
How did the Colorado River create the Grand Canyon?
Erosion over thousands of years.
In an area next to a river there are many trees. In this area very little erosion occurs. best explains this?
The tree roots help hold the soil together.
What is the difference between vertical and lateral erosion?
Vertical erosion occurs when the river erodes it's bed, causing the deepening of the bed. Laterial erosion occurs when the river erodes it's banks, causing it's channel to widen.
Does most erosion take place on the bottom if the meandering stream?
No: That is where deposition occurs. Erosion is where the river is flowing at its fastest, the mountain torrent stage.
Where does erosion and deposition occur in a river?
Erosion occurs in meanders and fast flowing parts of the river. Deposition occurs when the flow is too slow to carry the particles so drops the dirt and soil it is carrying. Deposition also occurs on the inside of a meander, which is why the meander stays the same width, but moves about.
Which of the following occurs on the slower side of a river meander?
erosion flooding seems more accurate.
Why is there little erosion next to rivers?
On the side where the river flows slowest.
How does erosion effect Mississippi River?
Erosion effects the Mississippi river by causing collapse in the banks of the river. Erosion also causes the river to change course slightly as the banks change.
When a river carries away rock particles this is known as the process of?
Erosion by moving water in a river is called fluvial erosion.
Is the inside bend of a meander called a river cliff?
The river cliff is the outside of a meander in a river. This is due to erosion from fast flowing water. Deposition occurs on the inside and the inside bend is called the SLIP-OFF SLOPE
Is it erosion or weathering that widens a river's bank?
It is erosion by flowing water, especially when the river is in spate, that can widen the river's banks.
Why does erosion occur on the outside of a river?
erosion occurs on the outside of rivvers because of the forces of moving water push out or (erode) the landscape, to allow water the flow easier and create more room. the grouynd under the river will not erode because of the gravity and presure of the the water on the ground
Is a river erosion faster than a wave erosion?
It depends how fast the wave and river speed are.
