Why does heavy rain cause erosion in a desert?
Heavy rain in a desert can cause erosion because the compacted soil in deserts cannot absorb large amounts of water quickly. This leads to surface runoff, which can carry the loose sand and sediment, causing erosion in the form of gullies and washouts.
What thing causes sudden changes to the earth's surface?
I can think of four things that cause sudden changes to the earth's surface: Impact of a large object from space (such as Meteor Crater in Arizona), earthquake, volcanic eruption or explosion (Krakatoa is a prime example), and nuclear explosion (the atomic bomb caused very sudden and complete change to Hiroshima and Nagasaki). Every rain shower causes some change to the earth's surface, but I think you were asking about more dramatic examples.
What causes a merteroid to become a meterite?
When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere, the intense heat and pressure cause it to burn up, creating a bright streak known as a meteor. If any part of the meteoroid survives and lands on Earth, it is then called a meteorite.
Does it ever rain in the desert, and if so, how does it impact the ecosystem and inhabitants?
Yes, it does rain in the desert, although it is infrequent. When it does rain, it can have a significant impact on the desert ecosystem and its inhabitants. The rain can trigger sudden bursts of plant growth, leading to an increase in food availability for animals. It can also replenish water sources, allowing for increased survival rates for plants and animals. However, heavy rainfall can also cause flash floods, which can be destructive to the ecosystem and pose a threat to the inhabitants of the desert.
Why is erosion after rainfall a concern in desert areas?
Erosion after rainfall is a concern in desert areas because desert soils are typically dry and lacking in vegetation, making them more susceptible to erosion. Rainfall can cause flash flooding and wash away topsoil, leading to reduced soil fertility, loss of nutrients, and increased desertification in these fragile ecosystems.
What state did a giant meteor land?
Giant meteors have hit the Earth many times. Probably the most destructive - so far - was Chicxulub which "may" have been the cause of the dinosaurs extinction.The most notable crater in the US is - not surprisingly - called meteor crater. Located in the Arizona desert, near Winslow.
Can you mention any big pit caused by a meteor?
There is the famous crater in Arizona, known as Meteor Crater or Barringer Crater. It is not actually meteors that cause craters. Meteors are destroyed in the Earth's atmosphere. If they survive the Earth's atmosphere and then land on Earth, they are known as meteorites. So it is meteorites that actually cause craters.
When the meteoroid is cause the meteor?
When it rotates bad
Does global warming cause meteor showers?
No connection. Meteor showers are debris from space striking the earth.
How may comets cause meteor showers?
alot.
Why is Arizona New Mexico Texas and Oklahoma called the Southwest Region?
Is called The Southwest because their located in the southwest. By.Jayla Thomas
Did a meteor hit Uranus and cause a crater?
Highly unlikely because Uranus is a gas giant and a meteor is so small.
Does a meteor cause erosion on mountains?
if it gets hit yes(stuff blastes out)
What events produce a meteor shower?
Meteor shower is also known As meteor outburst or meteor storms That may produce more than 1000 meteors per hour most of the meteors are small in size and therefore disintegrate it is cause by the Streams of cosmic debris called meteoroids
What is the main cause of desert conditions in the Sahara?
There are many factors that cause the desert conditions of the Sahara. Some factors that affect the desert are lack of rain and sand.
Does abrasion cause most desert land forms?
No, most desert land forms are cause by the action of water.
