21. 2 Ways Plants can PREVENT Erosion!
1. Roots: hold soil together.
2. Body of the plant: prevent soil to be eroded by wind and water.

22. What agents of erosion continue to change Long Island Sound?
Wind: wind blows the sand, abrasion, wearing down rocks
Water: waves create erosion along the beaches.
