Geography
1 answer:
Ronch [10]3 years ago

Answer: The vegetation protect the soil from being picked up and carried by the wind.

Explanation:  when the soil is bare of vegetation the wind can pick up and carry sand, small rocks and soil. The sand being carried by the wind can act as an abrasive cutting into rocks, causing further erosion. This is nature's form of sand blasting.

Vegetation protects the soil, preventing the wind from picking up and carrying abrasives like sand and small pebbles. The wind by itself has little erosive power. Without the bare soil where wind can pick up sand there is little wind erosion.

Where is erosion concentrated along a meandering stream?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

c) on the outer banks of the meander loops

Explanation:

The meandering streams form in places that have low elevation and are flat, covered with softer sediments. The stream starts as mostly straight, but as time passes it erodes one of the banks, while depositing on the opposite bank, become very curvy, snake-like in shape, thus a meandering stream. In the meandering streams, the water has the most velocity at the outer banks. This results in greater erosion of the outer banks, and this part constantly moves outwards. In the same time, the water has the least velocity at the inner bank, resulting in deposition of the material that it has been carrying with it, so this part constantly grows inwards.
