Raindrops can also cause erosion by splashing, a process called splash erosion. This type of erosion is more common on rocky or grassy surfaces than on sandy or clay surfaces. Water erosion is also accelerated by climate changes. Warmer temperatures can loosen ice-rich permafrost along rivers and coastlines, leading to mass wasting. This process is much faster than usual erosion, and can carry huge chunks of land downhill. Wind Like water erosion, wind can wear away at the Earth. It picks up dirt and carries it away, reshaping the landscape. It is especially a problem in dry areas where it blows sand and dust from one place to another, often creating desert dunes or sculpting rock formations such as the iconic arches of Arches National Park in Utah. It also sandblasts rocks and cliffs, polishing them until they have the appearance of desert varnish. | |
