Rainwater that contains CO2 contain Carbonic acid that passes thru permeable limestones
resulting the enlargement of it and removal of time that holds the particles together.
Hydration –
Result of the absorption combination of water and particular substance on the rock leading to the
change in shape.
Solution – process in which some of the minerals in the rocks are directly dissolve in water.
Water continues to weaken, deform broke and disintegrate rocks.
Wind erosion –
- Happens when winds carry large amounts of fine soil particles and sand away from a region
- Spreading it over adjoining cultivated land and destroying their fertility.
Sheet Erosion –
- The removal of thin layers of the soil because of surface run off and rain.
- If left unattended, there will be elimination of nutrients due to removal of the topsoil resulting to
unusable land.
Rill Erosion –
- The removal of soil by the action of concentrated running water that creates a cm- deep tiny
channels(rills) which carry water during storms.
Gully Erosion –
- The removal of the soil in water channels or drainage lines.
- The gullies gradually multiply and spread over a wide area that will then be called badlands/
ravine.
