Commision. cannot be held responsible for any use which may be of the information contained therein.. Anticipated Problem: . What is soil erosion?. I. . Soil erosion . is the process by which soil is moved. When soil is eroded, it may become pollution in the water or air. The land where it came from, loses fertility. Vegetation and other coverings help prevent soil erosion. . Chad Lentz. Why Care?. Removes valuable topsoil. Carries away expensive nutrients. Increase tillage costs to fix. Creates algae blooms and dead zones due to excess nutrients in waterways. Types of Erosion. Physical Weathering. Weathering. is the breakdown of rock or soil. . Physical . weathering occurs when natural forces, such as wind, running water, and moving ice, physically break up rock and soil into smaller particles. . Chapter 7. Section 7.1 Weathering. Weathering is the process by which rocks on or near Earth’s surface break down and change. . Erosion is the removal and transport of weathered material from one location to another.. Michael J. Jorgensen, PhD. Coordinator, Bioengineering Program. michael.jorgensen@wichita.edu. http://www.wichita.edu/bioengineering. . WSU Bioengineering Program. Agenda. What is Bioengineering?. What do Bioengineers do?. formation of landforms. weathering and erosion. The process of weathering and erosion are the main forces behind landscape types. . However, they are not the only reason for a plain, plateau, or a mountain region to form. . erosion is the process by which the products of weathering are transported. agents of erosion are gravity, wind, glaciers, water, ocean waves, currents streams, groundwater.
