Soil erosion can be a major problem for you if you have a garden, plant beds or a farm. Preventing soil erosion is a responsibility that we all have to take seriously. There are several things that you can do to prevent soil erosion and protect your plantings.
1. Prevent soil erosion by planting vegetation, trees, ground cover, shrubs and other plants. Roots from these plants will help hold soil in place on the ground. Soil will not blow away due to wind, or be washed away from rain as easily.
2. Create windbreaks, which are barrier rows planted along the windward exposure of a plot of land. Windbreaks made out of trees, such as evergreen trees or bushes help prevent erosion by preventing wind from blowing across your land.
3. Grow cover crops on farm land. When land is not being used during the off season, cover crops can help prevent soil erosion due to wind and rain. Legumes (beans) are often used as cover crops.
4. Apply mulch to retain moisture and also help prevent soil erosion. Topsoil is not as likely to be washed or blown away when it is covered by mulch. Mulch is often used in flower beds.
5. Construct surface runoff barriers, such as edging made of bricks or stones, can help prevent soil erosion by minimizing runoff. If runoff is minimized, soil is less likely to be carried away by groundwater runoff.
6. Use contour farming when farming on sloped areas. This conservation technique is to follow the actual topography of a slope when planting crops. Using the natural lay of the land in this way can also prevent soil erosion.
7. Try terrace farming and gardening to decrease groundwater runoff. Create nearly level layers of crops on a hillside.
Weathering can give rocks smooth or rough edges, and create landforms out of rocks. This is a result of wind and water on the rocks.
The waves on the beach wash up and erode the road above
Erosion of igneous and metamorphic rock
Any and all rock can be changed into sediment by weathering and erosion.
Weathering and erosion breaks rocks into smaller pieces.
by different types of erosion, arbraison, hydraulic action and another one but i forgot what its called :L
The order is as follows: 1. Erosion 2. Deposition 3. Compaction 4. Cementation
what are the effects of weathering and erosion
every kind of erosion have a different effects foe example water erosion water erosion effects the stones by the chemicals in the water .
Erosion and weathering
1 time a year that beach erosion effects Chinia.
It blocks the erosion from happening. That is why it prevents/reduces the effects of erosion
heat
When Soil Erosion happens, it causes land and water pollution.
Weather erosion is where the weather effects the shape of the earths surface
flood
soil erosion and flashfloods
Erosion as it effects every building and structure that is outside.
The speed of water affects erosion because the speed of erosion depends on the force of the moving water. It determines the rate of erosion.
