The areas created from land erosion and high water table allowing water to percolate to the surface are known as wetlands. Wetlands are valuable ecosystems that provide habitat for a diverse range of plant and animal species, help control flooding, and improve water quality by filtering out pollutants.

What happens to water that does not percolate?

Water that does not percolate (move down through the soil) either is retained above the impermeable layer or becomes surface runoff.


What shaped earths surface?

Erosion and deposition shapes the Earth's surface.


What happends to water that does not percolate?

Water that does not percolate into the ground can lead to surface runoff, which can erode soil and carry pollutants into bodies of water. It can also contribute to flooding and water accumulation in low-lying areas. It is important for water to percolate into the ground to recharge groundwater sources and support vegetation.


Has erosion created large numbers of valleys on the surface of the moon?

Erosion due to meteorite impacts and seismic activity has slightly modified the moon's surface, but there isn't significant evidence to suggest that erosion has created large numbers of valleys on the moon. Most lunar valleys are believed to have been formed by either ancient lava flows or tectonic activity.


Is ventifact created by erosion or deposition?

Ventifacts are typically created by erosion. They form when windblown particles impact and abrade a rock surface, causing it to be polished, pitted, or faceted over time.


What is process of wearing away or moving of soil and rock by water wind and ice?

surface erosion-the process by which the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water, glaciers, winds, waves, etc.

How does erosion change the physical surface?

Erosion changes the physical surface by removing part of the surface. This can be inform of abrasion or eroding away components of the surface.


What is the weathering of the earth's surface called?

The weathering of the Earth's surface is called erosion. Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed and transported by wind, water, or ice.


Which type of erosion moves the most sediment on the earth's surface?

Glacier Erosion


What is erosion caused by wind that can lower the land surface?

scour, or eolian erosion


What form of erosion can produce a smooth polished surface on rock?

Ice erosion can do this as can aeolian erosion (desert varnish).
