water/wind erosion

water/wind erosion

I think we didn't cover wind erosion much..I don't really know how to properly answer this question.

Provide examples and briefly discuss effects of (accelerated) soil erosion (caused by water and wind).


Thanks for the help!

We did not cover wind erosion and there will be no questions about it on the exams. Water erosion, on the other hand, has been covered in lectures and questions re. it might appear on the final exam.

To answer your question, you should 1st define accelerated erosion, followed by a brief explanation of general effects of erosion (ie removal of soil from one site & deposition of that soil or sediment on another site). Then you should list examples of water erosion (ie sheer, rill and gully erosion), with a brief explanation what are effects (or consequences) of each of them.
