Which type of area is more likely to weather and erode? An area with a lot of vegetation (plants) or an area with very little? Why?
The area with very little vegetation, because the roots won't be able to burrow through the rocks to weather it down.
The area with a lot of vegetation, because the roots will burrow through the rocks causing a landslide.
The area with very little vegetation, because it has not roots to absorb extra water or hold the soil together. The extra water and loose soil is likely to become a landslide/mudslide.
The area with a lot of vegetation, because the roots will absorb any extra rain water, and will also hold the soil together preventing a landslide.
