Erosion | |
Erosion is the action of water and wind that breaks down rocks, carries away rock particles, and deposits them at a new location. It can happen in both the mountains and at sea level, but is more common in dry regions, such as deserts, where vegetation is sparse. Erosion is the most common cause of land deterioration. It can lead to soil deterioration and degradation of crops, and can even destroy civilizations. Water erosion starts with raindrops that erode the surface of the ground as they hit and splash. Over time this can add up to significant damage, especially when rainfall is heavy or occurs over long periods of time. Rainwater erodes the surface of the earth, carving out valleys and shaping mountains. As it flows downstream in rivers and streams, it erodes the bedrock, carrying away sand, silt, clay, and organic matter. This sediment is deposited elsewhere, usually in lakes and watercourses. The severity of erosion depends on a number of factors, including slope, soil type and condition, the nature of the underlying rock, the amount of plant cover, the intensity and duration of rainfall, and temperature. The most important off-site effect of water erosion is the transport of sediment into lakes, streams, rivers, and oceans, where it causes sedimentation of the bottom of lakes, disrupts the ecosystems of streams and rivers, and contaminates drinking water. | |
