【题目】What is erosion?erosion trees shade wind blow soil protect rockErosion is when some of the soil or rock breaks up and is carried away by water,wind or ice. When trees are cut down, there is no shade. Smaller plants get toomuch sun and they soon die. Erosion happens quickly ...
What is the erosion cycle? Erosive Forces: All rocks on the surface of the Earth today are subject to erosion. This process occurs at a very slow rate, usually too slow for humans to perceive, and is often measured on a geologic timescale of millions of years. ...

How can we control Erosion? While there is nothing much that we can do to prevent the erosion of rocks and mountains, the best way to stop soil erosion is to stop cutting trees. The roots of the trees keep the soil in place and when the plants are stripped from the land, wind and ...
We refer to the surface of the Earth, i.e., rocks and soil, as the lithosphere. It is the outer layer of the Earth’s upper mantle. The non-living parts of the environment are crucial for the survival of all organisms. The living part of the environment ...
What part of the Earth contains rocks?Question:What part of the Earth contains rocks?Geology:James Hutton is the father of geology. Geology is a science, the study of earth's history and its life, particularly about the rocks. It is of two types: physical geology and historical geology.Ans...
Erratics are formed by glacial ice erosion resulting from the movement of ice. Glaciers erode by multiple processes: abrasion/scouring, plucking, ice thrusting
Metamorphic rocks are formed from igneous and sedimentary rocks. In volcanic and seismic activity, the cooling of magma creates igneous rocks, which are buried by further igneous rock formation, soil and vegetation. Sedimentary rocks are largely formed by erosion of other types of rocks, most drama...
You can't always tell how hard a rock is by feeling it. Testing the fire-starting capability of a few types of rocks is one way to learn which are the most effective. Another option is to ask a local expert on flint and steel fire starting, or ask a local geologist. Some types of...
Glacial erosion forms the land beneath glaciers and can produce features such as faceted clasts (rocks smoothed off by being rubbed against other rocks), grooves and striations in rock, glacial pavements and rock flour, U-shaped valleys, horns, cols, cirques and aretes. ...
