How is erosions and weathering different?

Weathering brakes up rock. Erosion removes the broken up pieces.


What is Stream Erosion?

Stream erosion is the process by which flowing water gradually wears away and removes soil, rock, or other material from the banks and bed of a stream. It is primarily caused by the force of the moving water and can result in the formation of valleys, canyons, and other landforms over time. Erosion from streams is a natural geological process that can have both positive and negative impacts on the landscape.


Are the oddly shaped stones in the deserts are result of wind erosions?

Yes, the oddly shaped stones in deserts can be a result of wind erosion. Over time, wind can polish and shape rocks through abrasion, creating unique formations such as ventifacts, which are rocks that have been faceted by wind-blown sand.


What causes ice in a crack in a rock and makes the rock split?

Ice expanding in the crack as it freezes can exert pressure and force the crack to widen, eventually causing the rock to split. This process, known as freeze-thaw weathering, is a common geological phenomenon that occurs in areas with fluctuating temperatures.


Suppose sand gravel and clay are being carried by a river As the water enters a lake and slows down In what order will these sediments settle out of the water?

In this scenario, the gravel will settle out first, followed by the sand, and then the clay. Gravel has the largest grain size and weight, so it will settle out of the water column first. Sand will settle out next, followed by clay, which has the smallest grain size and weight.
