What else can I help you with?
What are the environmental impacts if a landslide occurs?
The environmental impacts are erosion, loss of top soil and the loss of vegetation.
What is gravity causing rock or sediments to move downhill?
erosion
Why is erosion after a rainfall a concern desert areas?
because the land is so dry that it can not absorb all of the water. Therefore causing erosion.
What type of wind erosion leaves pebbles and boulders behind?
Saltation erosion leaves pebbles and boulders behind. This type of erosion occurs when the wind picks up sediment particles and hurls them against larger rocks, causing abrasion and erosion.
How do you think erosion may vary when you have snow or ice versus rain?
Water is constantly moving causing erosion to happen more quickly than snow or ice which does not move.
What are major environmental problems to Ethiopia?
Air pollution , Deforestation and soil erosion
What is the environmental problems caused by tourism activities in upland glacial areas?
Foot path erosion - every day !
Where is the wind most effective in causing erosion?
Winds are most effective in causing erosion, in the steppes, arid and desert regions/areas.
How are erosion and deposition related to the problems New Orleans has experience?
Erosion and deposition have contributed to the problems in New Orleans by causing land subsidence and acceleration of coastal erosion. The Mississippi River delta is sinking due to lack of sediment deposits, leading to increased vulnerability to flooding and storm surge. Additionally, erosion along the coast weakens natural barriers, making the region more susceptible to hurricanes and flooding.
What force is causing erosion?
Friction causes erosion through wind or water.
How does water flow affact erosion?
It washes away dirt and rock, causing erosion.
Is there any erosion on the river Thames?
All rivers create erosion but the Thames does not have significant problems of erosion.
Which type of erosion is causing by moving masses of ice?
The type of erosion that is caused by moving masses of ice is called glacial erosion.
Can water erosion cause toxic wast?
Yes, water erosion can cause toxic waste to be carried away from the source and into the surrounding environment through runoff. This can contaminate water sources and soil, leading to environmental and health problems. Proper management and containment of toxic waste are important to prevent water erosion from spreading it.
How does other countries have been affected by climate change?
many countries are flooded due to the climate change and also there are might be volcanoes,earthquakes,soil erosion,etc......this can cause many problems to people and their lives
Effects of erosion?
Erosion can lead to loss of fertile land, altered landscapes, and reduced water quality due to sedimentation. It can also impact wildlife habitat, increase the chances of flooding, and degrade infrastructure like roads and buildings. Erosion is a natural process, but human activities can accelerate it, causing significant environmental and economic impacts.
What is the rain causing to happen to the surface of the earth?
erosion
