How is erosion good?
It has formed some of the land forms on the earth. It has carried rich soil with vitamins to the edge of the river and deposited it there to grow pretty plants.
Why are some mountains folded and some up warped?
Most mountain formations are the result of enormous and violent forces, either vulcanic or because of tectonic plates crushing into each other and pushing the edges upwards. That process for instance formed the Himalayas.
What are the two processes that wear earth down and reshape landforms?
the shifting of tectonic plates and submergence of rock will create magma which will force its way to the surface creating some land forms. there is also a glaciation process and river process.
Where did erosion come from?
**This answer refers to Australia When the first settlers arrived in Australia, their aim was to farm the land. With them they bought their European farming methods. These methods didn't work for the harsh Australian climate. They cleared the land and left it barren for a small amount of time. When they went to replant some crops they noticed that some of the top soil had disappeared. They found a small pile of soil further down the field. This is where the first erosion occurred. It was not until later that they discovered it was from them ploughing their fields to deeply. That is why these days farmers are more careful with the depth they plough their fields at.
What is an example of wind erosion?
Wind can carry dust, sand, and soil for many kilometers. Particles in the air are deposited when the wind speed drops.
What are some features formed by underground erosion and deposition?
cave formations and sinkholes
What are some land formation in California formed by erosion?
Yosemite National Park and lakes were formed by erosion in California.
What are some surface features formed by water erosion?
The Grand Canyon is a surface feature formed by water erosion. All riverbeds are formed by water erosion. Hoodoos are formed by water erosion.
What are some saturns land formations?
it is a gas planet. No land there.
What are some French land formations?

What are some ways that erosion can be prevented?
Vegetation. Clearing the land is a cause of a lot of erosion.
What are some surface features formed by wind erosion?
sand dunes
Is a gorge created by erosion or deposition?
Most gorges are formed through water erosion. For example, waterfalls erode the rocks they fall over and the falls move gradually back - leaving a gorge behind them. Some gorges are formed as rift valleys; land stretches and a central area drops down - this has formed the Great Rift Valley in Africa and the Great Glen in Scotland.
What are some examples of the erosion?
Wind erosion - dust storms, sand movement in desertsWater erosion - rivers (grand canyon), sea,Gravity erosion - land slides
Are clay banks manmade?
some are to prevent erosion. but most are naturally formed
What is the difference between land degradation and soil erosion?
Land degradation is the land that is being degraded in some form that is negative. Soil erosion is when rock and soil is removed from one location of land to another.
