GLACIAL EROSION
According to my research, plucking
can cause the erosion visible in the
picture is the process by which a
glacier picks rocks and other
materials and abrades them, leaving
scratches and holes that reflect the
glacier's movement direction. It flows
slowly downhill under the pull of
gravity because as it goes slowly, it
collects up rocks and can destroy
other materials with its ice rock. As a
glacier moves, these materials are
transferred to new locations and pass
across land, eroding the surface and
changing its appearance. When
streams and rivers create narrow
channels across the land, erosion
occurs, and glaciers have the force to
level entire continents.
Search on the internet the agents of erosion and explain how each of them causes erosion.
WIND EROSION
As shown in the image, erosion is a
process of detachment of
transportation and deposition of soil
particles caused by the action of a
strong wind, which causes erosion to
move from one location to another.
As previously stated, the wind is
usually responsible for moving the
soil's surface layers. Erosion is
particularly harmful in agricultural
circumstances because it entails the
picking up and blowing away of loose
fine-grained material within the soil,
as shown in the illustration. Wind
erosion causes a variety of problems.

WATER EROSION
Based on a discussion and my own
research as rainfall, runoff, melting
snow or ice, and irrigation all
contribute to soil separation and
movement, resulting in water
erosion. It causes erosion because
water, for example, can carry dust
and sand particles that can erode a
surface. Erosion is caused by the
effect of rain on bare soil and the
force of rushing water on the soil
surface. As more water runs through
the area, more soil particles are
displaced or transported away. For
water to create erosion and damage
to agriculture crops that have been
significantly harmed. Erosion can also
reduce the soil's ability to absorb
water, resulting in flooding and big
puddles. Fresh crop planting may be
delayed or hampered if areas remain
inundated during the planting
season.
 EXPLAIN
According to the image this substance is formed by weathered and eroded material exposed on
continental landmasses. As weathered products are moved away, fresh rocks are exposed to
additional weathering. Over time, the top or slope is gradually worn down. Weathering causes pieces
of the Earth to break down, which are then carried away by erosion. Water is a common mode of
moving Earth components to new areas. Different landforms can change shape, size, and texture as a
result of weathering and erosion. Weathering can result in erosion, which can lead to landslides and
the construction of new landforms. When rocks and minerals on Earth's surface are breaking down or
dissolving. After a rock has been broken down, the bits of rock and minerals are carried away by
erosion. According to my research that water, acids, salt, plants, animals, and temperature changes
are all agents of weathering and erosion. In my perspective, weathering is a type of erosion. Erosion is
the process of anything being worn away, usually by water or wind. The means for carrying it away is
the mechanism that peels away the particles. When the wind or water velocity is lower than what is
required to keep particles suspended, the particles fall out of the air or water and are deposited.
II. Get a picture from the internet and ecxplain how the products of weathering are carried away by
erosion and deposited elsewhere.
