What else can I help you with?
What happens to the ability of a river to erode land under it if its slope decreases?
If the slope of a river decreases, its ability to erode land will also decrease. A lower slope means the water flows more slowly, reducing the energy and force it can exert on the land. As a result, sediment transport and erosion potential will be reduced.
How do streams and rivers change the landscape?
They erode the landscaping around them.
Can rivers move mountains?
They can erode mountains.
How do rivers shape landscapes?
They erode edges!!
Why do sinkholes appear on the ground?
Sinkholes often occur when underground rivers erode the rock beneath the Earth's surface. Eventually, the land above is no longer sufficiently supported and collapses into the cave that has developed beneath it. They are more common in places with limestone, as it is easily eroded.
What is the major factor that determines a streams ability to erode land?
The major factor that determines a stream's ability to erode land is the stream's velocity. Higher velocity streams have more energy and can pick up and transport larger sediment particles, leading to more erosion. Additionally, the volume of water in the stream and the presence of steep gradients can also influence erosion.
What determines whether a stream will erode its bottom or its sides?
it erodes on its bottom
A rivers power to erode depends on what three things?
A river's power to erode depends on a river's slope, the volume of flow, and the shape of the river.
How can rivers cause more erosion than lakes?
because the rivers are more deep and wide so they can erode more
What bodies of water erode and move enormous amounts of soil and rock.?
rivers
Which of the agents of erosion is the fastest?
Water is typically the fastest agent of erosion due to its ability to transport and erode sediment quickly in the form of rivers, streams, and ocean currents.
Are rivers able to erode and deposit land?
Yes they are. Water can erode the river banks - and carry the loose soil to other places - where it's deposited.
