What else can I help you with?
As erosion removes material from tops of mountains the crust will rise upwards this is an example of?
Isostatic uplift, where the uplifting of the Earth's crust occurs in response to erosion removing material from the top of mountains.
Explain how rock and mountains break apart?
Rocks and mountains break apart due to various factors such as weathering, erosion, and tectonic activity. Weathering breaks down rocks through physical processes like freezing and thawing, while erosion removes the broken rock material. Tectonic activity like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions can cause rocks to break apart as well.
The process by which wind removes surface material?
The process by which wind removes surface material is called erosion. Wind erosion occurs when the force of the wind picks up and transports loose particles such as sand or soil. Over time, this process can reshape landscapes and create distinctive landforms like sand dunes.
What is created when deposition stops or erosion occurs?
When deposition stops or erosion occurs, landforms such as canyons, cliffs, valleys, or deltas can be created. Erosion removes the weathered material, while deposition adds it to a new location, shaping the landscape in various ways.
Does erosion cause more change than weathering?
Erosion and weathering are interrelated processes that work together to break down and transport rock material. While erosion physically removes the material from its original location, weathering breaks it down chemically or physically. The combined effects of both erosion and weathering can cause significant changes to the Earth's landscape over time.

How are the water cycle and earths water related to weathering and erosion?
The rain removes the top soil. It decreases soil's fertility and cause erosion.
Why erosion and deposition maximum on mountains?
Mountains are NOT a place where deposition (of sediments) are at a maximum. However they ARE a place where erosion (of sediments) is at a maximum. This is because mountains are steep and there is therefore allot of energy in the water flowing off mountains. This energy breaks down and removes the rocks from which the mountains are made.
As erosion removes the tops of mountains the crust will rise upwards This is an example of what?
This is an example of isostasy, which is the concept that the Earth's lithosphere (crust) floats on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. As material is eroded from the top of mountains, the lithosphere readjusts to maintain equilibrium, resulting in the rising of the crust.
What does erosion do to the land?
It removes it.

Erosion is a natural process that does what?
Removes the surface material of the earth.
What ways are two ways that water cycle and water on earth and the water cycle are related to weathering and erosion?
Water cycle removes top soil. It decreases the fertility of soil.
What is created when deposition stops or erosion occurs?
When deposition stops or erosion occurs, landforms such as canyons, cliffs, valleys, or deltas can be created. Erosion removes the weathered material, while deposition adds it to a new location, shaping the landscape in various ways.
Explain how erosion and isostasy eventually produce stable relatively thin continental crust?
As material is removed from mountains by erosion, the range floats upward to regain its isostatic balance. This process can be thought of as "the pull of erosion." As the mountains wear down to a low plain, erosion becomes virtually ineffective and the now this crust achieves isostatic balance; the former mountain belt becomes part of the craton.
