    Wind erosion is of two primary varieties: deflation, where the wind picks up and carries away loose particles; and abrasion, where surfaces are worn down as they are struck by airborne particles carried by wind.

  4. Apr 23, 2024 · Rainfall produces four types of soil erosion: splash erosion, sheet erosion, rill erosion, and gully erosion. Splash erosion describes the impact of a falling raindrop, which can scatter tiny soil particles as far as 0.6 meters (two feet). Sheet erosion describes erosion caused by runoff.

  5. Jun 14, 2024 · Erosion, physical process in which soil, rock, and other surface material are removed from one location and transported to another. Erosion will often occur after rock has been disintegrated or altered through weathering. Weathered rock will be removed from its original site and transported away by a natural agent.

  7. The main types of erosion are hydraulic action, abrasion, attrition, and solution. What is hydraulic action? Hydraulic action is a process of erosion where the force of flowing water dislodges and removes particles of rock and sediment from the riverbed, coastline, or other surfaces.

  8. Erosion is the process where rocks are broken down by natural forces such as wind or water. There are two main types of erosion: chemical and physical. Chemical erosion occurs when a rock’s chemical composition changes, such as when iron rusts or when limestone dissolves due to carbonation.
