Question

What is erosion? How is erosion different than weathering? What are the different types of water erosion? What factors contribute to the rate of water erosion? How are different climates affected by water erosion What are the short-term effects on the land? (Flooding, costal dune erosion, etc.) What are the long-term effects? (Desertification, loss of habitats, poor soil quality, etc.) How does water erosion affect humans? What are the short-term effects to humans? (Property damage, contaminated water, damage to crops, etc.) What are the long-term effects to humans? (Health issues, transportation difficulties, etc.) How can humans affect the rate of water erosion?

Answer 1

1. Is a natural process of the minerals and things inside of rock but is not being destroyed, rather moved.

2. Weathering breaks down the material while erosion just moves it.

3. Gully,rill, and sheet

4. Climatic characteristics( rainfall,wind and atmosphere"temp")

5. They're effected by temp and perspiration(rain) there will be more flooding for a mid temp and rainy area, a dry and hot area will have more rocky areas.

6. Wet areas will erode away and have less land to use while the dry areas will have low nutrients dirt and more rocks than actual dirt.

7. It makes soil lose nutrients and cause tons of farmland to lose a good quality of use.

8. Farmland won't produce as much because there's nothing to fuel the plant growth.

9. Farmers and humans will need to move around more/tear down more natural land to find suitable soil or else there will be famine all over.

10. Since farmers have to move massive amounts of soil in order to fertilize the land, it can cause erosion from the wind rain etc. causing land to fail because mudslides etc. Famine would start to set in because there would be no more suitable land for farmers because they'd move around and destroy the land to where it's unusable.

Explanation: I went in and edited the answer above mine so I could spare you the trouble of editing. Have a great day :)

Answer 2

#1 is a natural process of the minerals and things in rock is not destroyed but rather moved.

#2 weathering breaks down the material while erosion just moves it.

#3 gully,rill, and sheet

#4 climatic characteristics( rainfall,wind and atmosphere"temp")

#5 they are effected bye temp ans perspiration(rain) there will be more flooding for a mid temp and rainy area while a dry and hot area will have more rocky areas

#6 wet areas will erode away and have less land to use and the dry areas will have nutrient low sand and more rocks then actual dirt

#7 it makes the soil loose the nutrient s and casue tons fo farmland to loose a good quality of use.

#8 farm land wont produce as much cause there is nothing to fuel the plant growth.

#9 farmers and humans will need to move around more and tear down more natural land to find suitable soil or else there will be famine all over

#10 since farmers have to till massive amounts of tops soil in order to be able to use the land it cause erosion from the wind rain etc. causing land to fail cause mudslides etc. then famine start setting in cause there would be now more suitable land for farming cause farmers would move around and use up all the land.

i hope these are right if one is wrong then put in comments
