What else can I help you with?
Can wind cause erosion though ablation and abrasion?
Yes, wind can cause erosion through ablation, which is the wearing down of substances by windborne particles, and abrasion, which involves the physical scraping or rubbing together of surfaces by wind-carried materials like sand or silt. These processes can gradually reshape landscapes and wear down exposed surfaces over time.
What causes a mountain to get rounder?
Mountains can become rounder over time due to erosion processes such as weathering, abrasion, and mass wasting caused by wind, water, and ice. These processes gradually wear down the sharp edges and peaks of mountains, leading to a smoother, more rounded appearance over time.
What planet has the most soil erosion?
Earth, by far, though Mars shows indications of a condition that at least appears to be soil erosion.
Is the kettle a result of erosion or deposition?
kettle is a result of erosion though the material is an ancient deposition
How is a glacier a source of weathering and erosion?
Glaciers contribute to weathering by physically breaking down rock through the process of abrasion as they move and slide across the landscape. They also cause erosion by carrying rock debris and sediment down valleys and carving out landforms through processes like plucking and quarrying. As glaciers melt, the water they release can further erode the landscape by transporting sediment and creating new channels.
Can wind cause erosion though ablation and abrasion?
Yes, wind can cause erosion through ablation, which is the wearing down of substances by windborne particles, and abrasion, which involves the physical scraping or rubbing together of surfaces by wind-carried materials like sand or silt. These processes can gradually reshape landscapes and wear down exposed surfaces over time.
What is an abrasion wound?
Abrasion is where flowing water picks up rocks and moves them along in it's current. It can cause damage to the side of rivers (Lateral Erosion) as well as the riverbed (Vertical Erosion). Abrasion can also be defined a lot simpler by just saying "When waves throw rocks up at cliffs" etc. This is not to be confused with Attrition though.

How does abrasion change the landscape?
You know on a beach when you walk on the park that is really smooth and right next to the water, abrasion took the minerals and took them with the water and landed on the beach which makes it smooth. Hope that works. :) If not please tell me.
How do erosion and deposition affect a coastline?
Usually the matter is, how does erosion affect flooding, as cutting down woods causes increased erosion which causes more flooding. Floods of course affect erosion though, as huge amounts of soil/earth can be transported with the waters in a flood.
Is rain erosion?
No, erosion is when things degrade over time. Even though rain does erode things, it is not erosion.
Is a kettle a result of a deposition or erosion?
kettle is a result of erosion though the material is an ancient deposition
What deserts are affected by erosion?
All deserts are affected by erosion. There are several different types of erosion, and while the deserts may be unaffected by some of them, such as water erosion, because obviously, deserts don't get much rain. Deserts are affected by wind erosion, though. As the winds blow in the desserts, it wears away at the soil.
What planet has the most soil erosion?
Earth, by far, though Mars shows indications of a condition that at least appears to be soil erosion.
Does grass stop erosion?
Not necessarily completely, though plant cover of any kind does tend to slow down erosion, and grass is particularly good because of its dense root network.
How does a tornado affect weathering?
Tornadoes do not cause significant weathering, though they can cause localized soil erosion.
What erosion features are associated with rivers and caves?
Both are stream-courses - though cave passages lose their streams eventually - so they display both erosion and deposits. Many erosion forms found in caves are not seen in surface water-courses, though roughly-similar meandering canyons, waterfalls, pot-holesand knick-pointsare common to both.
