Earth Science With Mr. Thomas

Mass Movement – the downward transportation of weathered materials by gravity. Erosion – the removal & transport of materials by natural agents such as wind & running water.

Landslide – the movement of a mass of bedrock or loose soil & rock down the slope of a hill, mountain or cliff.  Creep – Slow movement of soil down a hill.  Slump – Blocks of land tilt and move downhill.  Earthflow  Mudflow

The topography of a region is a function of the balance between forces that uplift the land and agents of erosion that wear the land down. Example: Volcanic Neck

Top Soil: The top couple feet of soil that is rich in minerals. Soil Fertility: The ability of soil to grow plants. Soil Depletion: When soil becomes so lacking or depleted of nutrients that it can no longer grow a usable crop.

When we receive heavy rains, what part of the soil is the first to get carried away? So it is important, especially for farmers, to be able to keep the top soil in place!

Ways in which farmers can prevent soil erosion: Windbreaks Contour Farming Terraces Strip-Cropping

Wind can also move land material: Consider sand dunes:
