Is erosion a constructive or deconstructive?

Answer 1

Erosion is only a destructive force!

Erosion is a destructive force. Destructive erosion is where you take part of one land form away to create a new one. An example of a destructive force is a u-shaped valley. This u-shaped valley use to be a v-shaped valley until ice eroded it away. The ice cuts into the rock and curves it out to form a u-shaped valley.

Answer 2

Kettle lakes formed from glaciers can melt when temperatures rise. This poses a threat of flooding, especially in the nearby residential area.

When icebergs break from glaciers and settle underwater, they interfere with sea lanes. Ships are exposed to the dangers of capsizing from the altered sea lanes. A historical example is the Titanic, which capsized in 1912 due to the iceberg and killed 1,503 passengers.

When glaciers detach from the rocks on the mountain, they roll down, causing massive destruction.

The gigantic ice flowing down the slope is called an avalanche. Avalanches destroy buildings, plants, animals, and human life along the mountain slope.

Glaciers cause a rise in the sea level when they melt. When the sea level rises, coastal erosion increases, causing a storm surge.

Frequent storms cause typhoons and hurricanes. Areas near the coastline experience destructive rains and wind from typhoons and hurricanes caused by glaciers.

The materials carried along by moving glaciers block rivers from continued deposition in waterways. This results in flooding and the destruction of plants along riverbanks.

Dissolved minerals from glaciations alter the pH of the water in rivers. This poses a danger to aquatic animals and plants.

However, to be honest, glaciers are constructive in many ways and destructive in equal measure.

Answer 3

Erosion is construtive and destructive! Without erosion, we wouldn't have the fertile plainlands we find so useful.

Answer 4

Wind Erosion is a Destructive Force.

Answer 5

it can be either

Answer 6

It is the latter.
