Different types of water erosions:

Sheet and rill erosion

Sheet erosion occurs when a thin layer of topsoil is removed over a whole hillside paddock—and may not be readily noticed.

Rill erosion occurs when runoff water forms small channels as it concentrates down a slope.

Scalding

Scalding can occur when wind and water erosion removes the top soil and exposes saline or sodic soils.

Gully erosion

Gully erosion happens when runoff concentrates and flows strongly enough to detach and move soil particles.

Tunnel erosion

Tunnel erosion is the removal of subsoil.

When water penetrates through a soil crack or a hole where a root has decayed, the soil disperses and is carried away with the flow to leave a small tunnel.

Stream bank erosion

Recent floods have made stream bank erosion a widespread problem across Queensland.

The major cause of stream bank erosion is the destruction of vegetation on river banks (generally by clearing, overgrazing, cultivation, vehicle traffic up and down banks or fire) and the removal of sand and gravel from the stream bed.

Erosion on floodplains

Some of Queensland’s best agricultural land is on floodplains because of the high fertility soils and availability of water for irrigation. These areas are subjected to high velocity floods that erode soils with insufficient surface cover.

How did immigration and westward expansion impact geographic patterns in the United States?

NikAS [45]

The Westwards expansion meant that the United States acquired more lands. This meant that the demand for civilians (farmers) increased in order to be able to maintain these lands without the vast interference of the military.
As a result of this, huge amounts of people , especially Europeans , immigrated there in the second half of the 19th century.
The resources of the US increased, both agricultural products as well as gold, timber and silver as a result of this.
However, this aggravated the divide between north and south, leading to an acceleration in the onset of the Civil War.

the graph above shows population of Brazil's largest cities according to the graph how does Brazil's third largest city compare

Gemiola [76]

The second largest city in Brazil is Rio de Janeiro, while the third biggest is the capital Brasilia. Rio de Janeiro has an estimated population of around 6,5 million people while Brasilia has little less than 3 million. This makes Rio de Janeiro more than twice bigger in population than the capital of Brazil, Brasilia. But there's something interesting in here in the background, in the past 6 years the population of the second Rio de Janeiro has only increased by little over 9%, while Brasilia's population has increased by around 20% which is more than twice in increase, so if that trend continues in the coming few decades Brasilia will come on top of Rio de Janeiro very quickly.
