Bill Nye Erosion Questions and Answers
| 2024/2025 | Graded A+
What is erosion?


✔✔ Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed from the Earth's surface by

natural processes such as wind, water, and ice.




How do water and wind contribute to erosion?


✔✔ Water and wind can transport sediments from one location to another, gradually wearing

away rocks and soil in the process.




What role does vegetation play in preventing erosion?


✔✔ Vegetation helps to stabilize the soil with its roots, reducing the likelihood of soil being

washed or blown away.




What are some common human activities that contribute to erosion?


✔✔ Activities such as deforestation, overgrazing, and construction can disturb the soil and

increase erosion rates.

, How does gravity affect erosion?


✔✔ Gravity pulls rocks and soil down slopes, causing landslides and contributing to the

movement of materials in a process known as mass wasting.




What is the difference between weathering and erosion?


✔✔ Weathering is the breaking down of rocks into smaller particles, while erosion involves the

movement of those particles from one place to another.




What are some examples of erosion caused by water?


✔✔ Examples include riverbank erosion, where flowing water wears away the edges of a river,

and coastal erosion, where waves continuously hit the shoreline.




What is sedimentation, and how is it related to erosion?


✔✔ Sedimentation is the process of depositing eroded materials in a new location, which can

lead to the formation of new landforms.




How can building terraces on slopes help reduce erosion?


✔✔ Terracing can slow down water runoff, allowing it to soak into the ground rather than

washing away soil.
