This process is known as erosion, where rainwater washes away soil and rocks, creating channels or gullies in the land. Over time, these gullies can become larger and deeper, forming ravines or canyons. Erosion can have significant effects on the landscape and environment, impacting habitats and water quality.
What else can I help you with?
When rainwater carves a broad deep gash in the land as it moves of soil(two words)?
Rill erosion.
What is the region along plate boundaries where one plate moves beneath another called?
The region where one tectonic plate moves beneath another is called a subduction zone. This process is responsible for creating deep-sea trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes.

What is subdution?
Subduction is the process where one tectonic plate moves underneath another plate at a convergent plate boundary. This process often leads to the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes.
What erodes broad U shaped Valleys in mountain rivers valleys?
Glaciers are primarily responsible for eroding broad U-shaped valleys in mountain river valleys. As glaciers move downhill, they carve out wide and deep valleys due to their erosive power. The U shape is created as the glacier erodes the rock and sediment below it, creating a distinct profile with steep sides and a flat bottom.
When rainwater carves a broad deep gash in the land as it moves of soil(two words)?
Rill erosion.
Is the fastest part of a river is the most narrow?
The fastest part of a river is the narrowest or shallowest. In broad, deep sections the water moves slowly, in narrow or shallow sections the river moves fastest. Of course the fastest flowing water is at a waterfall or rapid.
What happens to rainwater that doesn't evaporate?
This water remain oth Earth surface or go deep.
What are synonyms of the word broad?
wide, large, extensive, deep
What creates a fjord?
A fjord is created by the movement of glaciers. They are narrow valleys that are filled with water and usually found in the extreme northern and southern hemispheres such as in Norway, Greenland and New Zealand.
What is water from a deep well?
Almost all water ultimately comes from deep wells, even city water. Some cities may have reservoirs that store river and rainwater for domestic usage.
How are surface and deep currents caused?
Moves by the gravity of the moon.
How can you tell is a river has been around for hundreds of years versus a newer river?
A good indicator is how deep it is, the longer a river is around the deeper a river valley it carves out, althought it doesn't work for all rivers.
How are limestone gorges formed?
Limestone gorges are formed through the process of erosion, primarily by the action of water. Rainwater, which is slightly acidic due to dissolved carbon dioxide, seeps into cracks and fissures in the limestone, gradually dissolving the rock. Over time, this chemical weathering, combined with physical erosion from flowing rivers, carves out deep valleys, creating gorges. The continuous flow of water enhances the erosion process, deepening and widening the gorge over thousands of years.
How are U shaped valleys created?
U-shaped valleys are primarily formed by glacial erosion. As a glacier moves downhill, it erodes the sides and bottom of the valley through a combination of abrasion and plucking. Over time, the glacier carves out a wide and deep U-shaped valley, often leaving behind steep cliffs and a flat valley floor.
How does an ocean wave change as it moves from deep water to shallow water?
Deep water waves are long in length but short in height. As the wave moves into shallower depths it becomes shorter in length and taller in height.
Do deep focus earthquakes occur as a plate moves deeper into the mantle?
yes they do
