What is cumulative process?
Generally, a cumulative process would be one in which new growth is added to old growth, and the larger the material, the more new growth. The growth of a tree, or an avalanche, or of a snowflake, could be considered. However, since one is generally looking at the process itself, rather than the objects on which it operates, even erosion could be considered to be a cumulative process. In the long run, most of these processes run out of material (or the mechanism fails) and the growth of the process stops. Perhaps this is related to what the Economist calls "the law of diminishing returns'.
What is responsible for shaping this arch?

What is accelerated erosion?
Accelerated erosion is soil erosion that occurs more rapidly than soil horizons can form from the parent regolith. Erosion can be accelerated through the activities of human beings.
What are the four types of eroison?
The four main types of erosion are water erosion, wind erosion, ice erosion, and gravity erosion. Water erosion occurs through rainfall and surface runoff, leading to soil and rock removal. Wind erosion happens in arid regions where strong winds lift and carry away loose particles. Ice erosion, often caused by glaciers, results in the grinding and scouring of the landscape, while gravity erosion involves the downward movement of soil and rock due to gravitational forces, such as landslides.
Which processes form ridges and valleys?
folding uplift and erosion
Erosion is generally considered a bad thing but is in fact necessary?
vales verga!
What has the greatest erosion power?
Water is generally considered to have the greatest erosion power among natural elements. Water erosion can occur in various forms such as river erosion, coastal erosion, and rain erosion, reshaping the Earth's surface over time.
Which agent of erosion is responsible for the most erosion?
Water erosion, particularly through processes like rivers, streams, and rainfall, is generally considered to be the most significant agent of erosion on Earth.
Does homeowners insurance cover erosion on a garage?
No, homeowners does not cover erosion. Erosion is considered normal and expected over time. It's not a sudden loss. It is also generally avoidable with proper maintenance.
What is the most powerful method of erosion?
The most powerful method of erosion is generally considered to be glacial erosion. Glaciers are capable of carrying immense amounts of rock and sediment as they move, leading to the carving out of valleys and shaping of landscapes over time.
Is wind erosion a constructive or destructive force?
Wind erosion is generally considered a destructive force as it can strip away topsoil and cause desertification. It can lead to loss of vegetation, degradation of land, and disruption of ecosystems.
What is the most powerful cause of erosion?
Water is generally considered the most powerful cause of erosion, particularly from moving water such as rivers, streams, and ocean waves. Water erosion can wear away material and transport significant amounts of sediment over time, reshaping landscapes and forming various landforms.
Why is erosion necessary?
It forms some surface features of the Earth.
Which of the following is not an agent of erosion?
Plants are not typically considered agents of erosion. Instead, they can help prevent erosion by stabilizing soil with their roots.
Why are weathering and erosion considered destructive?
Suns crust
Why is erosion considered a positive feedback loop?
Erosion is considered a positive feedback loop because as soil is eroded, it reduces the vegetation cover on the land, which makes it more susceptible to further erosion. This leads to a cycle where erosion begets more erosion, creating a self-reinforcing process that can significantly alter landscapes over time.
How has erosion changed the channel?
Which one? No matter, generally it widens and, or deepens it.
