How does erosion make landforms?

Answer 1

There are a few ways: 1. Over-grazing by livestock takes away vegetation. The land then turns from grassland to desert. 2. The desert ground is then blown by winds and after some time we get sand dunes etc. 3. Water flowing down a hill or mountain cuts into the soil to make ravines and crevices, eventually making canyons. This is done when the water picks up sand particles. These particles rub against rock and gradually grind them away.

Answer 2

Wind and water keep chipping away at (mostly igneous) rock formations.

Eventually the sediments collect and are compressed over long periods of time, and many times. This creates sedimentry rock formations.

Erosion is also responsible for plains, and such.

Answer 3

Erosion works to reshape and create landforms by wearing down rocks and soil through processes like wind, water, and glaciers. This gradual wearing away of the Earth's surface can carve out valleys, canyons, and riverbeds, as well as shape Coastlines and create features like cliffs and arches. Over time, erosion can transform the landscape into a variety of unique and diverse landforms.

Answer 4

Because of slopes of land,the steeper the slope the more topsoil is carried away

Answer 5

Think of a desert for a minute. Notice, that if you took a picture of a spot one day, and then took one the next day, they would be different. Landscape would change due to the wind etc.

Answer 6

this site is bad

Answer 7

Yes e.g. the Grand Canyon was eroded over a million years or so by water.
