Weather also has an impact on the coastline. Rainwater can cause surface erosion and frost (in cold climates) can cause rock to shatter. Strong winds can also contribute to the erosion of cliffs.

Weathering and erosion slowly chisel, polish, and buff Earth's rock into ever evolving works of art—and then wash the remains into the sea. The processes are definitively independent ...

Erosion is the process that wears away the river bed and banks. Erosion also breaks up the rocks that are carried by the river. Landslides are occasional, rapid movements of a mass of earth or ...

The Earth's land surface is dominated by sloping landscapes. Every year, soil erosion laterally distributes on the order of 75 Gt of topsoil (Berhe et al. 2007). The coupled biogeochemical cycles ...

Soil erosion is a major worldwide threat to agro-ecosystem sustainability and land productivity. Fallout radionuclides and stable isotopes are used to measure magnitudes and sources of soil erosion, ...

Water erosion is the most widespread form of soil degradation globally (Figure 4) and its prediction ... erosion - often within specific soil types or landscape positions (Bruce et al.
