How does soil erosion happen?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Soil erosion happens when the top layer of soil is removed or displaced by wind, water, or human activities like deforestation or overgrazing. Lack of vegetation, steep slopes, and heavy rainfall can also contribute to soil erosion. Erosion can lead to loss of soil fertility, reduced water quality, and increased sedimentation in water bodies.

Answer 3

Erosion is the displacement of solids, differing from weathering, which is a BREAKDOWN in minerals. There are 5 types of erosion: gravity, water, shoreline, ice, and wind. Gravity erosion drives the sediments downward, with rate depending on the slope of the place. Water erosion utilizes water to carry sediments away. Shoreline erosion occurs through the currents and waves of the water and also tides in both exposed and sheltered shores. Ice erosion wears away sediments with debris under glaciers similar to sandpaper on wood in a process called abrasion. Finally, wind erosion can carry particles away and also cause them to collide into another solid, causing abrasion.

That is when erosion happens for any questions call 207 noyfb call please.also erosion happens when running water, sea waves, wind, or glaciers pick up materials from the earths surface and carry them to other locations.the actions of erosion and deposition work together to alter existing landforms and create new ones.

Answer 4

When soil erosion happens, the earth's soil begins to break apart into small pieces. Sometimes, if the soil erosion happens on a mountain or a steep hill and there are houses on the top of that piece of land, all the houses will fall and break apart. Some people even die from soil erosion. Soil erosion is really dangerous and harmful. Especially for the big soil erosion.

Answer 5

Weathering of rock is a consequence of exposure to sunlight, pressure release, freeze-thaw cycles, dissolution by acidic rainfall, and abrasion, to name a few. Erosion of the weathered rock particles occurs as the pieces are transported by gravity, wind, ice, and water to a different location.

Answer 6

Water causes erosion and also wind by eating away the soil, and rock. When a cat paws at a tree it also erodes.

Answer 7

erosion forms when nature acts as a force to displace items

some types are wind, water, snow, ice, and gravitational erosion

Answer 8

water or wind deposits the soil in another location after weathering

Answer 9

when water spins around and around and keeps on going

Answer 10

The proses of erosion takes place when water or wind moves large rocks or big mounds of soil.
