What does erosion do to land?
material on the surface of the land is dislodged and moved
What kind of roots stop erosion best?
Grasses and ground-covering plants with extensive root systems
How does gravity affect wind erosion
Gravity rolls rocks down mountains (a type of mass wasting) or moves small weathered rock particles down through streams or creeks or by wind.
can erosion be bad for the earth
yes it has led to increased pollution
Can erosion happen everywhere?
yes
Does liquid water cause erosion
Erosion is a mechanical process, usually driven by water, gravity, wind, or ice that removes sediment from weathering.
Can fire cause erosion
yes Like flowing water, flowing ice erodes the land and deposits the material elsewhere. Glaciers cause erosion in two main ways: plucking and abrasion.
Which tree is the best to prevent soil erosion?

How do wind erosion and deposition change the Earth's surface?

Its roots grip the earth, combating erosion with a tenacity that's as practical as it is impressive.
How does erosion change Earth?

Can wind cause erosion?
of course
Where does erosion go?
at the tops of mountains and under the soil
How does erosion affect climate?
increase in carbon emissions in the atmosphere.
What are the 4 types of erosion?
