What is erosion?
Back
Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed from the Earth's surface by natural processes such as wind or water flow, and then transported and deposited in other locations.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What factors can increase the rate of erosion?
Back
Factors that can increase the rate of erosion include increased precipitation, higher temperatures, and changes in vegetation cover.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does temperature affect erosion rates?
Back
Higher temperatures can lead to faster weathering of rocks, which can increase the rate of erosion as rocks break down into soil more quickly.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the role of vegetation in erosion?
Back
Vegetation helps to anchor soil in place, reducing the rate of erosion. Areas with less vegetation are more susceptible to erosion.

Back
Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that is formed from clay and silt, while sandstone is a coarser-grained sedimentary rock made primarily of sand-sized particles.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Why might two landscapes with the same precipitation erode at different rates?
Back
Different rock types, vegetation cover, and temperature can cause variations in erosion rates, even with the same amount of precipitation.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the significance of rock type in erosion?
Back
Different rock types have varying resistance to erosion; softer rocks like shale erode more quickly than harder rocks like sandstone.
