What else can I help you with?
There can be no stream erosion or glacial erosion without?
the presence of water. Water is a key agent in both stream and glacial erosion processes as it carries sediment, sculpts valleys, and shapes landscapes through its erosive power. Without water, these erosion processes would not occur.
When wind carries sediment the amount and size of the particles it carries depends on?
It depends on how strong the wind is, and where and how far reaching that wind is. Also, if there is little vegetation to trap the sediment, more of it will be carried away by the winds. The classic example of this would be the dust bowl in America. This was caused by bad farming methods, which stripped the west of it's native grass. THis allowed Huge dust storms to blight the whole Midwest, and in one case, carried dust and sand from the far west all the way to the Atlantic ocean! So basically, size of particles, wind speed and opportunity for erosion all play into how dust is carried in the winds
Wind transported sediment are called?
Wind transported sediment is known as "aeolian sediment."
What normally carries the eroded rock pieces during transportation?
Water, ice, wind, and gravity are common agents that transport eroded rock pieces. Water from rivers, glaciers, or ocean currents can carry sediment downstream. Ice can transport sediment through glaciers. Wind can move sediment over long distances. Gravity can cause sediment to move downhill.
What is a carrying sediment?
A carrying sediment is a material in motion within a river, stream, or ocean that is transporting particles such as sand, silt, or mud. This sediment is picked up and moved by the flow of water or wind, aiding in erosion and deposition processes in various environments.
What carries the sediment away?
Wind, water, glaciers, and gravity are capable or transporting sediment.
What is dropping of sediment from wind or water that slows down or ice that melts called?
The dropping of sediment from wind or water that slows down is called sediment deposition. When ice melts and releases sediment it carries, it is known as glacial meltwater sedimentation.

What is the erosion of sediment by wind?
The erosion of sediment by wind, known as aeolian erosion, occurs when wind picks up and carries particles of sediment like sand and dust. These particles are then deposited in new locations, shaping landforms like sand dunes. Aeolian erosion can result in the loss of topsoil and impact ecosystems.
What do you call the erosion of sediment by wind?
Aeolian erosion is the process where wind carries and moves sediment, gradually wearing away rocks and surfaces over time. This type of erosion is common in arid and windy environments like deserts.
What carries away sediment?
Wind, water, glaciers, and gravity are capable or transporting sediment.
Explain how sediment of different sizes moves during wind erosion?
Sediment of smaller mass is easier for the power of wind to overcome the power of gravity in moving it from one place to another. Most sediment moved by wind that is tiny as sand.
What do you call erosion and sediment by wind?
Wind erosion and sediment transport by wind.
How is wind abrasion different from wind deflation?
Deflation wind is when the wind blows across loose sediments and carries them away.
How is wind deflation different from wind abrasion?
Deflation wind is when the wind blows across loose sediments and carries them away.
What are two different things that move eroded materials?
Two different things that move eroded materials are water, such as rivers and streams, and wind. Water carries sediment and eroded materials downstream or deposits them along shorelines, while wind can transport smaller particles like sand and dust over long distances.
