  • An earthquake occurs when the tectonic plates that form the upper crust of the Earth collide or slide against each other. (sciencestruck.com)
  • When the tectonic plates collide against each other, the stress is released, and it sends massive vibrations called seismic waves. (sciencestruck.com)
  • So, let's talk about Earth's tectonic plates. (raelynteague.com)
  • Beneath the Earth's oceans and crust, the Earth's surface, the lithosphere, is broken up into tectonic plates. (raelynteague.com)

  • Severe soil erosion in a wheat field near Washington State University, U.S.A. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
  • In geology and environmental science , erosion is the displacement of solids ( soil , mud, rock and other particles) by the agents of wind, water, ice, or living organisms, or by down-slope movement in response to gravity. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
  • Erosion is a natural process, moving material and nutrients from one place to another and converting rock into soil. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
  • Excessive erosion, however, can damage the ecosystem, such as by increased water sedimentation or the outright loss of soil. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
  • Erosion is governed by a combination of factors, including the amount and intensity of precipitation (particularly rain ), soil texture, gradient of the slope, ground cover (from vegetation, rocks, and so forth), and land use. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
  • Leaf litter also shelters the soil from the impact of falling raindrops, which is a significant agent of erosion. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
  • Many human activities, such as logging and heavy grazing by livestock, can reduce an area's vegetation, making the soil more susceptible to increased erosion. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
  • The cultivation of semi-arid regions encourages erosion of soil and is one of the causes of increased desertification . (justapedia.org)
  • Although many studies have been performed on rocky coasts, the overall research on these areas has been restricted by several limitations, such as spatial and temporal resolution or the relative importance of different erosion factors, which can generate very different shapes with similar values [2]. (researchgate.net)
  • But, if the economic effects of any crisis are as severe as some pundits are suggesting, this could turn populations against their own governments and, in a re-run of the 30s depression, support for extreme minority parties could grow. (blogspot.com)
  • The Moon lacks a true atmosphere , and the absence of free oxygen and water eliminates erosion due to weather . (wikipedia.org)
  • However, erosion is minimized if the road has a lot of rock and is "hydrologically invisible," that is, the water flows off the road as quickly as possible, mimicking natural drainage patterns. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
  • Forested areas can take up water at higher rates, so precipitation there results in less surface runoff, and subsequently, less erosion of surface materials. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
  • When the total ground surface is stripped of vegetation and seared of all living organisms, the upper soils are vulnerable to erosion by both wind and water. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
  • Lakes can form when underground deposits of soluble rocks are dissolved by water running through the area, making a depression in the ground. (wentworthwatershed.org)
  • The Low Beskid Mountains form a transverse morphostructural depression between the East Slovak Lowland and the Sandomierz Basin. (hikingtrails.eu)

  • When fires burn an area, or when vegetation is removed during timber operations or house or road construction, a soil's susceptibility to erosion is greatly increased. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
