How can trees help prevent erosion?

• The roots absorb the water at once

• The roots hold the soil firmly together.

• The trees block the way of running water.

• The roots secrete acid, attacking the rocks.

The process of wind carrying away loose sediment is called ​ (a)   .

• deflation
• abrasion
• landslide
• mass movement
• glacier

​ (a)   is an agent of erosion can usually move only sand-sized or smaller particles

• Wind
• Water
• Glacier
• Landslide

A mass of snow and ice in motion is a(n) ​ (a)   .

• glacier
• abrasion
• deflation
• landslide
• mass movement

Match the following Causes of Erosion:

• Raindrops falling on the soil exert pressure with their weight.

• Splash Erosion

• Rock particles forming hills of sand

• Glacial Erosion

• Water becomes muddy

• Erosion by Gravity

• Ice wedging causes the rock to break apart.

• Sheet Erosion

• Broken particles roll down faster and carry with them other particles on their way.

• Wind Erosion
