In addition to water, what other forces of nature can cause erosion and sedimentation of land?

Wind erodes, for example, form karst landforms.

The laws of wind and nature.

Of course, the forces of nature are eroding the land, specifically in two ways:

1. Hydraulics, this is self-evident. The greatest power to erode the land is it.

2. Wind, in the desert, strong winds will quickly erode the land.

How can their impact be reduced?

In the south, where hydraulic erosion is strong, including mountain slopes and river ditches in mountainous areas, their impact on the land can be eliminated by excavating ditches. The ditch generally cannot be excavated down the slope and should be excavated horizontally. The large water on the side of the ditch can be used to hold back the water by building embankments to prevent it from eroding the land.

In the north, the erosion of the land by hydraulic power is relatively weak, and the method can be referred to in the south.

In desert areas, in order to reduce the erosion of the land by the wind, the best way is to plant wind-resistant vegetation to reduce the wind to blow away the fine particles in the land and achieve the purpose of soil consolidation.

Erosion and sedimentation occur all the time in nature, with erosion causing soil erosion in some areas of the ground and filling in some low-lying areas. Erosion and sedimentation have created different topography on Earth.

According to the types of external forces, soil erosion can be divided into hydraulic erosion, wind erosion, freeze-thaw erosion, gravity erosion, leaching erosion, flash flood erosion, debris flow erosion and soil collapse. The objects of erosion are not limited to the soil and its parent material, but also include the soil under the soil, rock chips and soft rock layers.

In sedimentology, a narrower concept is often used to define sedimentation as the process of sedimentary material accumulation or formation in a layered manner under surface temperature and atmospheric pressure, including the whole process of sediment self-weathering, transportation and accumulation before burial (i.e., before the start of diagenesis).

But naturally occurring changes are not as damaging as man-made, and some are thought to be permanent.

Erosion causes soil erosion, while sedimentation fills up some low-lying areas.

The role of water on land is mainly manifested in two aspects: erosion and sedimentation.

On the one hand, the flow of water can erode away materials such as soil and rocks and carry them away from their original location. For example, under the erosion of rivers for a long time, various types of canyons, canyons, rapids and other landforms will be formed; The waves will also be impacted for a long time, forming sea erosion platforms, sea erosion high holes, capes, bays and other landforms on the coastline.

On the other hand, water also deposits material suspended within it onto the ground, changing the original topography. For example, sediments deposited by rivers and waves can form special topographic features such as deltas, sand dunes, coastlines, etc.

Due to the different climate, geological conditions and hydrological conditions in different regions, the topography and landforms created by water also have very diverse characteristics and uniqueness. For example, the rainforests of the Amazon basin and the alpine glaciers of the Himalayan Sunnayuan mountain range are very unique and rich topography created by the collapse of water on the earth's surface.

The erosion, sedimentation, erosion and glaciation of water on the land have created a variety of unique landforms and topography in the world, such as the Great Closed Canyon, basins, plateaus, grasslands, plains, deserts, lakes and mountains. These colorful landscapes have also become famous destinations for human adventure, tourism and wellness travel.

Water is one of the most important elements on Earth, and it has many rich and unique topography on the Earth's surface through a variety of interactions.

Erosion: Water is highly corrosive, and it is able to carry rocks and soils elsewhere, causing changes in the geological profile. Water can erode canyons and mountain streams, such as the Colorado River Canyon in Colorado and Hukou Falls in China.

Sedimentation: Water can carry and deposit sediments, such as sediment, stones, etc., which accumulate in the process of gradual sedimentation, and eventually become a variety of landscapes, such as deserts and grasslands.

Erosion: When the water flows on the surface of the earth, it will wash out the soil, so that the soil will gradually flow away to form the riverbed, and the river will be formed and pushed by the water to form the landform characteristics of streams and estuaries.

Glacial action: Cold climates often lead to the formation of glaciers, and the water around the glacier will flow out through the meltwater of the glacier, and be washed away by the sediment carried by the glacier to form valleys or mountain paths, and eventually form gorgeous glacial landscapes.

The effects of water on the land mainly include erosion and sedimentation.

Erosion refers to the process of abrasion and denudation of surface materials by forces such as water currents and waves, moving and changing the shape of particulate matter such as rocks and soil. The flowing force of water can cut canyons, create troughs and whirlpools, and erode hills and mountains into different shapes and heights, creating unique topography such as waterfalls, canyons, river valleys, fjords, and more.

Sedimentation refers to the process by which forces such as rifting and accompanying currents, waves, etc., to deposit the disorganized socks carried by the material on the riverbed, seabed or other places. Sedimentation can form a variety of sedimentary rocks, such as gravel, sandstone, mudstone, etc., and can also form special landforms such as sandbanks, tidal flats, river deltas, and coastlines.

In addition, water will also have an impact on the biological and chemical aspects of the land, for example, the plants and animals in the water can form special ecosystems such as coral reefs and wetlands; The dissolution of water can also change the properties of the soil, forming unique landforms such as karst terrain and limestone caves.

Therefore, the erosion and sedimentation of water on the land, as well as the biological and chemical effects on the land, together shape the rich and diverse topography of the earth's surface.

The role of water on the Earth's surface is very important, and it shapes the rich and diverse landforms and topography of the Earth's surface through processes such as erosion, sedimentation, and geomechanics. For example:

1.Rivers: Erosion has created many canyons, waterfalls, rivers and other landforms, and coastal sediments have formed coastal plains in the delta area before the river enters the sea.

2.Glaciers: Glaciers are also a form of water. The movement and erosion of glaciers have created many landforms such as valleys and alpine platforms.

3.Coast: The squeezing and lapping action of ocean waves erodes the coastline, forming landforms such as straits, sea caves and sea stacks.

In short, water provides a powerful impetus for the formation and evolution of the topography and landforms of the earth's surface through various actions.

The erosion and sedimentation of land by water is an important reason for the creation of many rich and unique topography on the earth's surface.

In the long-term erosion process, the water system formed by water through rivers, lakes, oceans, etc., can form canyons, peak forests, karst caves, waterfalls and other topography; In estuaries, bays and other places, deltas, coastal plains, sand dunes and other topography can be formed.

In addition, the sedimentation of water is also one of the important factors in the creation of topography. Under the action of water, various sediments will be formed in rivers, lakes, oceans and other places, such as riverbed accumulations, lake deposits, marine deposits, etc., which can form plains, hills, mountains and other terrain landforms after a long period of change and action.

Therefore, it can be said that the erosion and sedimentation of water play a crucial role in the formation, evolution and diversity of Qingchang topography on the earth's surface.

Water has two main effects on the land: the game.

Erosion: The flow of water can erode rocks and soils, causing rivers, waterfalls, canyons and other landforms to form on the surface. Long-term water erosion can also create unique landforms such as coral islands and caves.

Sedimentation: The water flow carries sediment and minerals, which will be deposited in some places, forming river banks, river beaches, sandbanks and other landforms. Water can also deposit organic matter suspended in water to the bottom of the water, forming mineral resources such as coal and oil.

Due to the action of water erosion and sedimentation, many rich and unique topography and landforms have been formed on the earth's surface, such as mountains, canyons, basins, lakes, rivers, coastlines, etc. These topography not only bring natural beauty to humans, but also provide a suitable living environment for living creatures.

It includes the influence of three natural factors, namely dark river, wind and sand, and biology on the surface morphology.

River water and groundwater have a chemical erosion effect on rocks. The limestone is dissolved and scoured by flowing water containing carbon dioxide, resulting in strange karst terrain such as karst caves and underground rivers. For example, there are many such landforms in Yunnan, Guangxi and other places in China.

In the arid areas of western China, wind erosion is dominant. The wind can blow up rock debris and sand on the surface, and carry sand and rock debris to abrasive the rock. Over time, the rock is destroyed by abrasion.

The natural forces that cause erosion and deposition of the terrain are the action of flowing water, the action of wind, the action of wind, and the action of organisms.

These are collectively referred to as external force action.

The energy of the action of external forces comes from the outside of the earth, mainly solar energy.

Background and objectives.

After learning about the weathering of rocks by various natural forces and the effects of weathering on the earth's surface, this lesson guides students to understand the erosion of land by flowing water. The rainfall is the beginning of the erosion process, where some of the precipitation seeps into the ground, some of it evaporates or is absorbed by plants, and the rest of the rainwater flows on the ground as runoff. The force of raindrops can break up and splash soil particles, which are carried away by runoff flowing through the ground.

Due to gravity, the runoff and the material it carries move to a lower place, and in the process of traveling, it constantly converges with other runoff, and the force increases, taking away more soil, forming a cutting ditch in the soil, and the cutting ditch converges with each other to form a large gully. The flow of water through the gully is already strong enough to carry soil and rocks, thus widening the gully's ......This is how the water continues to erode the earth's surface.

Students often see rainfall, but they don't necessarily think that it will erode the land and change the terrain. In this lesson, we will learn about the erosive effect of flowing water on soil through simulated experiments on "rain" and observation of land and runoff when "rain" falls. On this basis, ask the question of what factors affect the degree of land erosion, and let the students speculate and design the experimental plan based on their own experience.

This lesson is divided into two parts. The first part is "How Rain Affects the Land"; The second part is "Factors influencing erosion".

Scientific concepts. Rainwater and runoff can carry soil away from the surface and cause erosion.

Erosion alters the topography of the earth's surface.

Process & Methodology.

Through simulation experiments, the erosion of land by rainwater.

Record the results of the experiment with words, pictures, and symbols, and describe the phenomena in the experiment in oral and written language.

Make your own interpretation of the results of the experiment and communicate the results and ideas within the group.

Design simulations to determine the factors that affect the degree of soil erosion.

Emotions, attitudes, values.

Focus on erosion in nature.

Erosion is susceptible to land with relatively fragmented structures, land with large slopes, and land with low vegetation coverage. The degree of erosion is also related to the intensity of precipitation. The greater the intensity of precipitation per unit time, the stronger the erosion ability. If the precipitation is very uniform throughout the four seasons, the erosion capacity is weaker.

1. Land with loose soil, shallow soil layer and no covering on the surface.

2. The natural geographical environment is harsh (it can also be written separately: bad climatic conditions, frequent natural disasters) 3. The social environment is poor - people's awareness of environmental protection is weak.

4. Write in combination with specific areas (for example, along the river and along the river, you can think about the contributing factors of soil erosion; Wind sand, think about the contributing factors of wind erosion, etc.).
