it doesn't do that bad because it also carries the sediments that weathering breaks down so it also builds the Earth up

What type of erosion causes a beach?

Wave erosion is the primary type of erosion that causes beaches. Waves carry sand and other sediments away from the shore, shaping the coastline over time. Erosion by waves can create beaches through the deposition of sediment along the shore.


Wind water and ice are causes of?

Wind, water, and ice are causes of weathering and erosion on Earth's surface. Wind erosion happens when wind carries and deposits sediment, water erosion occurs when flowing water wears away rocks and soil, and ice erosion occurs when glaciers and ice sheets move and shape the landscape.


What is the most common cause of erosion in deserts?

Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed from the Earth's surface by natural processes such as wind or water flow, and then transported and deposited in other locations.While erosion is a natural process, human activities have dramatically increased (by 10-40 times) the rate at which erosion is occurring globally. Excessive erosion causes problems such as desertification, decreases in agricultural productivity due to land degradation, sedimentation of waterways, and ecological collapse due to loss of the nutrient rich upper soil layers. Water and wind erosion are now the two primary causes of land degradation; combined, they are responsible for 84% of degraded acreage, making excessive erosion one of the most significant global environmental problems we face today.


What are facts about erosion?

Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are worn away by natural elements such as water, wind, and ice. It can lead to changes in landscapes, including the formation of valleys, canyons, and coastlines. Erosion can also cause problems such as soil degradation and sedimentation in bodies of water.


What are the following is not a cause of erosion?

Burrowing animals, gravity, and water are all causes of erosion.
