The process in which, by the actions of wind or water, soil particles are detached
and transported. - ANSWER-Erosion
Eroded material suspended in wind or water. - ANSWER-Sediment
The deposition of eroded material. - ANSWER-Sedimentation
What bears the impact of quantity and quality degradation from erosion? -
ANSWER-Receiving Waters
, Raindrop impact energy is enough to dislodge surface sediment. - ANSWER-Splash
Erosion
Rain splash detaching soil particles lifting them up and removing them by shallow
"sheets" of water flowing down the sloped soil surface. - ANSWER-Sheet Erosion
As flow concentrates, small channels begin to form in the soil surface. - ANSWER-
Rill Erosion
Runoff cuts rills deeper and wider or several rills join to form a large channel. -
ANSWER-Gully Erosion
Channels become unstable due to increased flows or changes in upstream
sediment load. - ANSWER-Channel Erosion
Can happen when erosion left unattended. - ANSWER-Slope Failure
Erosion due to the influence of climatic forces on the surface of the earth. -
ANSWER-Natural Erosion
Natural Erosion + Human Activities - ANSWER-Accelerated Erosion
