Wind erode the lower section of the rock more than the upper part because the velocity of wind near the ground is low and at greater height the rate of erosion is lower due to the fewer dust particles in the air.
Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water. 6 – 12+ Earth Science, Geography, Geology, Physical Geography.
lateral erosion: a river erodes its bank; i.e. the river broadens (see figure). This results often in serious problems such as loss of agricultural lands [12]. A dense vegetation at the river bank may prevent bank erosion
A river delta is a low-lying plain or landform that occurs at the mouth of a river near where it flows into an ocean or another larger body of water.
oxbow lake, small lake located in an abandoned meander loop of a river channel. It is generally formed as a river cuts through a meander neck to shorten its course, causes the old channel to be rapidly blocked off, and then migrates away from the lake.
Deltas are wetlands that form as rivers empty their water and sediment into another body of water, such as an ocean, lake, or another river. Although very uncommon, deltas can also empty into land. A river moves more slowly as it nears its mouth, or end.
The place where a river enters a lake, larger river, or the ocean is called its mouth.
The constant movement of water from the earth to the atmosphere as water vapour and back again to the earth in the form of rain is known as the water cycle. The sun and the water bodies such as the oceans, seas, rivers and lakes are the components of the water cycle.
Answer: Our environment is changing because our needs are increasing day by day. To fulfill these needs we often don’t think about the environment and start modifying it.
Gravity and erosion are major factors in changing the shape of the surface of Earth. The different types of erosion and the effect of gravity on objects is discussed in this video.
