Erosion refers to the process of wearing away of rock or soil by natural elements such as wind, water, or ice. It can create features like canyons, valleys, and beaches over time. Human activities can accelerate erosion through deforestation, construction, and improper land management.

How the products of weathering are carried away by erossion?

Products of weathering are carried away by erosion through processes like water flow, wind transport, and ice movement. As water flows over the land, it picks up and carries away smaller rock particles and sediment. Wind can transport lighter particles through suspension or saltation, while ice movement can transport sediment within glaciers.


How can you save soil from erossion?

You can prevent soil erosion by implementing good land management practices such as planting cover crops, practicing no-till farming, contour plowing, terracing, and maintaining vegetative buffer strips along water bodies to help absorb excess water and reduce runoff. Implementing these practices can help protect the soil and reduce erosion.


What causes a flash flood?

Flash FloodA flash flood is caused by excess water, usually from a storm. This usually happens downstream from the storm as heavy rains produce more water than the area can handle with nothing to impede its buildup or soak it into the ground. As a weatherman in Oklahoma recently put it: "It is when a large rain and storm system hovers an area and does 'not leave' or 'move on' (as generally seen with systems) but instead stays, dumping supernatural amounts of water in a "flash," overwhelming even the more extraordinary and multi-competant drainage and levy systems."
