Erosion by Bluejays77
- 1. Erosion By Jared Mellody 1 In association with 2nd Hour Earth Science
- 2. Definition • The process of eroding or being eroded by wind, water, or other natural agents. 2
- 3. 5 Agents of Erosion • 1. Wind • 2. Running water • 3. Glaciers (Ice) • 4. Waves • 5. Gravity • What they are ↓ • The direct source of movement that can cause erosion through the transfer of energy or transport of rock material. 3
- 4. Agent of Erosion: Wind • Wind erosion damages land and natural vegetation by removing soil from one place and depositing it in another. 4
- 5. Agent of Erosion: Running Water • Running water is the most powerful agent of erosion. Continents are eroded primarily by running water at an average rate of 1 inch every 750 years. The velocity of a stream increases as its gradient increases but velocity is also influenced by factors such as degree of turbulence, position within the river, the course of the stream, the shape of the channel and the stream load. 5
- 6. Agent of Erosion: Ice • Ice erosion is the process of large chunks of ice, known as glaciers, eroding an area over a long period of time with the help of gravity. 6
- 7. Agents of Erosion: Waves • Coastal erosion is the wearing away of land and the removal of beach or dune sediments by wave action. 7
- 8. Agent of erosion: Gravity • Gravity can pull rocks and soil loose from the sides of mountains and cause rockslides and mudslides. 8
- 9. Logging effects on erosion • Logging affects the soil by degrading soil fertility and reduces crop production. 9
- 10. Construction effects on erosion • Construction such as Grading and filling drastically reduce the soil quality and over time if unprotected may affect more areas. 10
- 11. Effects of Farming • Farming has many impacts on erosion and waterways. In erosion top soil may be picked up by wind and or washed away by rain. 11
- 12. Conservation Farming - Terraces • a terrace is a piece of sloped plane that has been cut into a series of successively receding flat surfaces or platforms, which resemble steps, for the purposes of more effective farming. • Terraces save soil and improve water quality over periods of time. 12
- 13. Conservation Farming - Contour Farming • Contour farming is the farming practice of ploughing and/or planting across a slope following its elevation contour lines. • Farming on the contour creates small ridges that slow runoff water, and it increases the rate of water infiltration, reduces the hazard of erosion, and redirects runoff from a path directly downslope to a path around the hills slope. 13
- 14. Conservation Farming - Wind Breaks • A windbreak is a plantation usually made up of one or more rows of trees or shrubs planted in such a manner as to provide shelter from the wind and to protect soil from erosion • Windbreaks protect the land from erosion by congaing the amount of dirt in the air. 14
- 15. Conservation Farming - Strip Cropping • Strip cropping is a method of farming used when a slope is too steep or too long, or otherwise, when one does not have an alternative method of preventing soil erosion. • Strip cropping helps keep the soil in on a long stretch of land. 15
- 16. Conservation Farming - No- Till • No-till farming is a way of growing crops or pasture from year to year without disturbing the soil through tillage. • No-till improves soil quality (soil function), carbon, organic matter, aggregates,protecting the soil from erosion,evaporation of water, and structural breakdown. A reduction in tillage passes helps prevent the compaction of soil. 16
- 17. Conservation Farming - Cover Crops • A cover crop is a crop planted primarily to manage soil erosion, soil fertility, soil quality, water, weeds, pests, diseases, biodiversity and wildlife. • Although cover crops can perform multiple functions in an agroecosystem simultaneously, they are often grown for the sole purpose of preventing soil erosion. 17
- 18. Mass Movement • Mass movement is the movement of surface material caused by gravity. 18
- 19. 4 triggers of Mass Movement • Creeps • The combination of small movements of soil or rock in different directions over time are directed by gravity gradually downslope • Landslides • A landslide, also called a landslip, is a rapid movement of a large mass of earth and rocks down a hill or a mountainside • Slump • A slipping of coherent rock material along the curved surface of a decline • Falls • It is where regolith cascades down a slope, but is not of sufficient volume or viscosity to behave as a flow. 19
- 20. Mass Movement - Rockfalls • Rock falls are when rock slides off the sides of mountains or cliffs. • Triggers include: Frost wedging, weathering, root wedging, and external stresses. 20
- 21. Mass Movement - Rock slides • A rockslide is a type of landslide caused by rock failure in which part of the plane of failure passes through intact rock and material collapses en masse and not in individual blocks. • Happen on sides of ledges with rocks that have been weathered. 21
- 22. Mass Movement - Slump • A slipping of coherent rock material along the curved surface of a decline • Causes of slumping include earthquake shocks, thorough wetting, freezing and thawing, undercutting, and loading of a slope. 22
- 23. Mass Movement - Mudflow • A mudflow or mud flow is a form of mass wasting involving "very rapid to extremely rapid surging flow" of debris that has become partially or fully liquified by the addition of significant amounts of water to the source material. • Happens where there is a significant amount of rain over a period of time. 23
- 24. Mass Movement - Earth flow • An earth flow is a downslope viscous flow of fine-grained materials that have been saturated with water, and moves under the pull of gravity. • Happens in areas downhill that have had a significant amount of rain over a period of time. 24
- 25. Mass Movement - Creep • Creep is the tendency of a solid material to move slowly or deform permanently under the influence of mechanical stresses. • Creep happens on sides of roadways and hills. 25
