16
Q

The deposition of river sediments near the mouth of the river creates
landforms such as

A

floodplains and river deltas.

17
Q

What is Avalanche?

A

avalanche. It is a sudden downward flow of snow and ice from the mountains. Rocks and soil are carried with ice in an avalanche.

18
Q

How does gravity cause erosion?

A

Gravity causes erosion by pulling rocks, soil, and other materials downward.

19
Q

What is human-induced soil erosion?

A

Deforestation
Mining
Agricultural activities
Infrastructure

20
Q

What is Mining?

A

Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals from soil and rocks.

21
Q

What is Mining?

A

Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals from soil and rocks.

22
Q

What are the agricultural activities cause erosion?

A

Repeated plowing
Excessive Chemical
Removal of trees

23
Q

How does HUman infrastructure affect erosion?

A

Human infrastructure remove rocks and soil in certain locations to construct different structures.
