What are 2 examples of slow mass erosion?

Chemical weathering, such as the breakdown of rocks through processes like oxidation and hydrolysis, can slowly erode material over time. Freeze-thaw cycles, where water seeps into cracks in rocks and freezes, expanding and gradually breaking down the rock, are a slow form of erosion.


What 3 processes act together to wear down and build up earths surface?

Erosion, weathering, and deposition are the three primary processes that work together to wear down and build up Earth's surface. Erosion involves the movement of sediment and rock particles by natural forces. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces. Deposition occurs when eroded material is deposited in new locations. Together, these processes shape Earth's landscapes over time.


Why is coastal erosion more rapid in some areas than others?

The weaker rocks are eroded more quickly, forming bays, while the harder rocks form headlands. Softer rocks can be eroded at rates of over 2 metres a year, harder rocks can be eroded at rates as little as 0.001 metres a year. As headlands stick out into the sea, they are more easily attacked by wind and waves.


What is the cause of the erosion?

wind and water are the 2 causes of weathering and erosion


What are four types of erosion?

Four types of erosion are water erosion (caused by flowing water), wind erosion (caused by the action of wind), glacial erosion (caused by moving glaciers), and gravitational erosion (caused by gravity pulling material downhill).

What are 3 landforms created by mass movement erosion?

Landslides: Sudden mass movement of rocks, debris, and soil down a slope. Mudflows: Rapid flow of a mixture of water, rock, and soil down a hillside. Rockslides: Rocks and boulders slide down a steep slope due to gravity and erosion.


What are the examples of magazines?

What is the erosion and give 2 examples?

When materials are removed from the surface and changed into something else. Erosion can be by wind, water, ice, waves or other natural agents.

Are mass and weight 2 different examples of physical property?

Yes. Weight depends on gravity, so mass remains the same.

What are the examples of base quantities and derived quantities?

Examples of base quantities include length, mass, time, electric current, temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity. Derived quantities are those that are defined in terms of base quantities, such as velocity (length/time), acceleration (length/time^2), force (mass * acceleration), and energy (mass * (length^2/time^2)).
