In the desert, there are few plants, and those plants that do grow have shallow root systems. This lack of plant cover leaves the desert vulnerable to erosion by water because there is very little holding the sediment together. This means that when the sediments become impregnated with water, they are more likely to break away from lower sediments and slide downhill (a landslide). Additionally, this lack of plant material to hold sediments in place enables water to quickly sweep sediments away.
Unlike Mercury of the moon, Earth is geologically active. Erosion, deposition, and plate tectonics have buried or destroyed most of Earth's craters.
An active statement is a sentence where the subject performs the action of the verb. This creates a clear and direct sentence structure. For example, "The dog chased the cat."
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for the active erosion of bone minerals. They break down bone tissue by secreting enzymes and acids that dissolve the mineral components of bone. This process is essential for bone remodeling and maintenance of bone density.
It is called erosion and it acts on everything including active volcanoes. However active volcanoes can usually rebuild with more eruptions faster than they erode.
Explain Active and Passive transport.
Unlike Mercury of the moon, Earth is geologically active. Erosion, deposition, and plate tectonics have buried or destroyed most of Earth's craters.
No. Since the moon is not geologically active it cannot produce metamorphic rock and since it has no forces of erosion and deposition it cannot produce sedimentary rock. As a result, all the rocks on the moon are igneous
active

Geologists can learn about past conditions such as wind direction, sediment composition, and rates of erosion and deposition by examining dune bars and ripples. These features provide valuable information about ancient environments and the processes that were active in shaping the landscape.
Yes, it is.
Active transport is the movement of a substance against its concentration energy.
Some fumaroles with sulfur deposition around - in September 2010. The last erruption was in 1950.
At the beginning of Chapter Three, Elie says, " The beloved objects that we had carried with us from place to place were now left behind in the wagon and, with them, finally, our illusions." What does he mean by that statement? Explain.
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for the active erosion of bone minerals. They break down bone tissue by secreting enzymes and acids that dissolve the mineral components of bone. This process is essential for bone remodeling and maintenance of bone density.
Wind erosion is more active in arid regions because of the lack of vegetation to hold the soil in place. In humid regions, the presence of vegetation acts as a natural barrier to wind erosion, preventing the soil from being easily eroded. The dry and loose topsoil in arid regions is more susceptible to being picked up by the wind and carried away, leading to increased erosion.
