What is the difference between vertical and lateral erosion?
Vertical erosion occurs when the river erodes it's bed, causing the deepening of the bed. Laterial erosion occurs when the river erodes it's banks, causing it's channel to widen.
What is vertical erosion?
Vertical erosion is when the depth of the river is greater than the width causing erosion to take place on the bed of the river. This is also when lots of water enters the river but not as much is exiting it.
What kind of erosion happens after a volcano happens?
Soil erosion
Where erosion happens?
Erosion happens on land,which makes it erod :)
What is it called when erosion happens?
erosion
Where does erosion happen?
Erosion happens on land,which makes it erod :)
What does horizontal or lateral erosion mean?
Lateral or horizontal erosion means erosion taken place on the sides of a footpath or river bank. The opposite if lateral/horizontal erosion is vertical erosion, where erosion is taken place under the river bed or the bottom of a footpath.
Why does the erosion take place in the crust?
Erosion happens in the earths crust and it happens because of that layer is exposed to that weather
Why does the occupied channel width increase as you get further downstream?
This happens because in the lower course of the river, where the channel is much closer to base level, there is much more lateral erosion taking place and a lot less vertical. In the upper course, more vertical erosion takes place because the river is cutting down in an attempt to reach base level. As the river is reaching its mouth in the lower course, less vertical erosion is needed. Also because the river has a greater velocity downstream, due to more water entering the river from tributaries, there is more kinetic energy for lateral erosion to take place. This leads to more erosion in the form of abrasion, hydraulic action and cavitation which will widen the river channel.
What erosion happens in the piney woods?
when erosion happens in Piney Woods the plants that are loose will erode then will stop and at the stop they will decompose
What happens during erosion?
erosion is the wearing away and removal of rock material
Effects of erosion?
When Soil Erosion happens, it causes land and water pollution.
