Runoff meander Rill oxbow lake turbulence Gully alluvial fan ice age Stream delta River groundwater Tributary sand dune Drainage basin Divide abrasion Flood plain beach deflation. Methods of soil conservation (ch3). The key aspects discussed in this chapter are:. Windbreaks. Contour ploughing. Stubble planting. Terraces. Stone walls. Reduce farming in dry weather. Windbreaks. Reforestation. Erosion by rivers, streams, waves, floods.. Rivers and streams often sort sediments. Large sediments are deposited upstream and small sediments are deposited downstream. . Floods to not sort sediments.. Bust a move!. What is Erosion?. Erosion is defined as removal of rocks and soil by wind, water, ice and gravity.. Wind, water, ice and gravity are also known as the agents of erosion.. Weathering vs. Erosion . * Earth’s main agent of natural erosion. What is erosion?. Erosion is. -. Agents of Erosion. Agents of erosion include. . --. Running water . is the. . big. . Kahuna. . of. . all. . erosional. Rain . Splash. Sheet. Rill. Gully . Heavy . rains in northwest Iowa washed away soil, leaving this scarred tableau. This type of erosion, termed sheet-and-rill erosion, occurs when there is insufficient vegetation to hold soil in place. As rain falls, it forms sheets of surface water that transport soil away. As more water accumulates, it forms runoff channels called rills, which further displace soil.. Chapter 4.1. Pages 118-127. Key Questions. How does moving water cause erosion?. What land features are formed by water erosion and deposition?. The GREAT . BLUE. HOLE . p. 118. Where is it located?. 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. . Lesson 1. Water Erosion. How does Moving Water Cause Erosion?. Erosion is the process in which sediment that has been broken down through weathering is moved.. Agents of Erosion are:. Water. Wind. Glacial (ice). Contrast. the features left from different types of erosion.. Analyze. the impact of living and nonliving things on the processes of weathering and erosion.. Erosion and Deposition. Section 7.2. gravity: . . (“Flow-Assisted”. . or “Flow-Accelerated”. . Corrosion). An increase in corrosion brought about by a high relative velocity between the corrosive environment and the surface.. Removal of the metal may be:. Runoff meander . Rill. oxbow lake turbulence. Gully alluvial fan ice age. Stream delta . River. groundwater. . Tributary. sand dune. Drainage basin . Divide. . abrasion. . Flood . - running water is the most effective agent of erosion. - gravity draws surface water downhill, which allows the water to erode soil and rock materials. - rivers also eventually leave their eroded materials behind, which we refer to as . DSE3T : Factor, Processes and Mitigation Soil Erosion Soil is the most precious gift of nature - Prime resource - for food, fodder etc. for food, fodder etc. It is the earth’s fragile covering t 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. .
