How does runoff affect the rate of erosion?
Runoff can increase erosion by carrying away soil particles and sediment from the land surface. The speed and volume of runoff from precipitation can cause faster and more extensive erosion by washing away topsoil and exposing the underlying layers to erosion processes.
A floodplain forms where a stream what?
A floodplain forms where a stream overflows its banks during periods of high water flow, depositing sediments and creating a flat, fertile area on either side of the stream channel. This area is important for natural flood control and supporting diverse ecosystems.
What are all the forms of erosion?
All forms of erosion are weathering, mass movement, I am not positive if deposition is one of them. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. If I am wrong I apologize in advance. ;)
What does the term soil erosion mean?
Soil erosion is the process by which pieces of the earth are taken and moved elsewhere. Erosion is commonly seen in areas where there is a lot of friction, such as a stream. Other forms of erosion are caused by freezing, glaciers, and strong winds.
Compare and contrast rill and gully erosion?
rill erosion takes place when flowing water curves out numerous closely spaced thin chanels while flowing down steep slopes.when rill erosion becomes wider and deeper it forms a heavy type of erosion called gully erosion.
Begins when a small stream forms during heavy rain?
Rill erosion
This kind of alluvial fan forms where a stream empties into a lake?
This is water erosion that does not flow in a channel
What is the term for a stagnant lake that forms along a winding river due to soil erosion resulting in an abandoned stream cut off from the river?
billabong
What forms a escarpment?
erosion forms an escarpment
What are types of erosions?
Types of erosions include sheet erosion, rill erosion, gully erosion, and streambank erosion. Sheet erosion occurs when a thin layer of soil is removed by rainfall or runoff, while rill erosion creates small channels in the soil. Gully erosion forms larger, deeper channels, and streambank erosion refers to the wearing away of soil along river or stream banks.

Type of water erosion that forms larger channels down a steep slope?
The type of water erosion that forms larger channels down a steep slope is called gully erosion. Gully and rill erosion are the dominant types of water erosion in the world.
