What makes the water muddy after a heavy rain?
The pebbles picked up by water.
The rainwater turned brown in color.
The gravel and sand carried by the water.
The fine dust particles dissolved in water.

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) .
(a) is an agent of erosion can usually move only sand-sized or smaller particles
A mass of snow and ice in motion is a(n) (a) .
Match the following Causes of Erosion:
Sheet Erosion
Water becomes muddy
Wind Erosion
Rock particles forming hills of sand
Erosion by Gravity
Broken particles roll down faster and carry with them other particles on their way.
Glacial Erosion
Ice wedging causes the rock to break apart.
Splash Erosion
Raindrops falling on the soil exert pressure with their weight.
Explain the Importance of Ways of Preventing and Reducing Soil Erosion
