Answer:
FALSE
Explanation:
Erosion is the process of abrasion, transport and sedimentation of soil, subsoils and rocks as an effect of the action of erosive agents such as water, winds and living things. The process of disintegration of rock particles (called sediments) is caused by the action of weathering (a set of chemical, physical and biological processes that cause soil and rock wear). These sediments are transported by the action of gravity and surface elements.
There are various types and ways of classifying and dividing erosions, varying according to their speed, sphere of influence, causative agent or geographical location.
First, there is the conceptualization that divides erosions into geological and accelerated erosions. Geological erosion is one that involves a slow and gradual process, properly constitutive of the various existing relief forms, such as the formation of valleys through which the rivers pass. Accelerated erosion, on the other hand, is the one that generally involves human activities and which usually results in the rapid destruction or damage of soils.
Second, erosions are classified according to their intensity, segmenting them into laminar erosion, erosive grooves, ravines and gullies. Laminar erosion is the washing of soil (removed from the surface layer of sediment) by rainwater or wind; erosive furrows are the stratifications or “paths” left by water in the soil; the ravines are slightly more severe holes or damage; and gullies manifest themselves when erosion is deep enough to reach the water table.
