Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Erosion occurs when natural agents, such as wind, water, or ice, transport the loosened soil and broken-down rock away. Erosion prevents earthen materials from building up in the place the materials formed. In most cases, erosion is a slow process that occurs inconspicuously over long periods of time.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wind erosion is referred to as eolian erosion. Differences in atmospheric pressure will cause the motion of air that can erode surface material when velocities are high enough to move particles.
Detailed explanation-4: -Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering.
Detailed explanation-5: -The severity of water erosion is influenced by slope, soil type, soil water storage capacity, nature of the underlying rock, vegetation cover, and rainfall intensity and period. Wind erosion is caused by the action of the wind on the soil surface and is the process by which fine soil particles are carried away.
