yes, wind can blow seeds, sand, leaves, rocks, etc from one location to another
(depending on how powerful the wind is)
False. More runoff typically leads to more erosion, as the increased volume and speed of water flowing over the land can cause more soil erosion. Proper land management practices are essential to reduce erosion and protect soil health.
True. Waves are the primary force of erosion along coasts, as their energy and movement cause the wearing away of the land through processes like abrasion, hydraulic action, and attrition.
False. Groundwater can cause erosion through processes like chemical weathering which can dissolve rock and create underground cavities. This can weaken the overlying soil and rock, leading to potential collapses and sinkholes.
True. Wind is a significant force of weathering that can cause erosion by carrying and depositing particles on Earth's surface. Over time, wind can wear away rocks and other materials, shaping the landscape.
True. Erosion is the process by which the land surface is worn away by natural forces like wind, water, and ice.
True
YES!
During mass movement, the transport phase, the load can be deposited and indeed can cause scouring. However the transport phase itself is only minimally linked to the initial erosion of the load or its final deposition.
True
False. More runoff typically leads to more erosion, as the increased volume and speed of water flowing over the land can cause more soil erosion. Proper land management practices are essential to reduce erosion and protect soil health.
No they do not.
True. Weathering can cause erosion and fading of inscriptions on tombstones over time, making them difficult to read.
True. Abrasion by wind-carried sand can cause significant erosion, particularly in arid and semi-arid environments. The process occurs when sand particles are propelled by the wind and strike surfaces, wearing them away over time. This can lead to the formation of features such as ventifacts and deflation hollows.
