Is weathering the same as a erosion?

No it is not. Erosion is a constant state of wear on a subject by the same force.. where as weathering is the consistant battering of a subject by differnent forces..causing both to change is shape and form and texture.


Do all rocks use erosion?

No, not all rocks undergo erosion. Erosion is the process of wearing away rocks and soil by natural forces like water, wind, and ice. Some rocks are more resistant to erosion, such as igneous rocks like granite, while others like sandstone are more susceptible to erosion due to their composition and structure.


When did the erosion hit at lulworth?

Lulworth Cove in the UK has been subject to erosion for millions of years due to natural coastal processes. There is no specific date for when erosion began at Lulworth, as it is an ongoing process influenced by factors such as wave action, weathering, and sea level changes.


What two processes are all landforms subject to?

All landforms are subject to erosion, which is the wearing away of the Earth's surface by natural forces, and deposition, which is the laying down of sediment particles that have been eroded from somewhere else.


How does soil erosion happen?

Erosion occurs when the soil breaks because of strong water discharge during heavy storm. Wind is also a primary cause of erosion when it blows hard enough on unprotected soil to lift and move it away. Ocean waves, river currents, and glacial movement also erode large amounts of rock and soil. Actually, the erosion occurs because of the impact of the fluid particles on to the surface of the solid materials which are subject to this fluid flow, and in a fluid flow the amount of fluid volume per time unit. For example, L/S (Litre per second) defines the speed of the fluid element impacts. The power of this impact will increase if the direction of flow is more perpendicular to the surface. However, the amount of erosion also depends on the inherent forces between molecules of materials which are subject to fluid flow. As an example, in an elbow in a piping element, where the vector direction of the flow changes, there are more impacts and then more erosion occurs. In this situation, if we increase the flow speed, the erosion rate will increase.
