Erosion typically happens in mountain areas where there are a lot of rocks that grind upon each other.

How was agriculture affected in Assam when soil erosion happened?

Soil erosion can lead to loss of fertile soil, affecting agricultural productivity in Assam. It can also result in landslides, damaging crops and infrastructure. Farmers may need to implement soil conservation measures to prevent further erosion and maintain agricultural sustainability.


Has erosion created large numbers of valleys on the surface of the moon?

Erosion due to meteorite impacts and seismic activity has slightly modified the moon's surface, but there isn't significant evidence to suggest that erosion has created large numbers of valleys on the moon. Most lunar valleys are believed to have been formed by either ancient lava flows or tectonic activity.


What are the 4 types of water erosion?

The four types of water erosion are sheet erosion, rill erosion, gully erosion, and streambank erosion. Sheet erosion occurs when water flows evenly over a surface, rill erosion happens when small channels are formed in the soil, gully erosion involves larger channels, and streambank erosion is the wearing away of stream banks.


What are three transporting agents of erosion?

Three transporting agents of erosion are water, wind, and ice. Water erosion is caused by rivers, streams, and rainfall, while wind erosion occurs in arid and windy environments. Ice erosion, known as glacial erosion, is caused by the movement of glaciers.


What are the three main types of erosion?

The 3 main types of glacial erosion are plucking, abrasion and freeze thaw.

Why is it difficult to study formation of earth?

Mainly because it happened so long ago - "erosion" wiped out essentially all the direct evidence long ago. Erosion includes things like plate tectonics and meteor strikes as well as wind and rain.
