1
Runoff water accumulates, and then rapidly flows in narrow channels during or immediately after heavy rains or melting snow, removing soil to a considerable depth.
2
The transport of loosened soil particles by surface runoff that is flowing downhill in thin sheets.
3
Exfoliation is a type of erosion that occurs when a rock is rapidly heated up by the sun.
4
They erode predominantly by three different processes: abrasion/scouring, plucking, and ice thrusting. In an abrasion process, debris in the basal ice scrapes along the bed, polishing and gouging the underlying rocks, similar to sandpaper on wood.
5
The process by which soil and rock are removed from the Earth\'s surface by natural processes such as wind or water flow, and then transported and deposited in other locations.
6
Mass movement is the downward and outward movement of rock and sediments on a sloped surface, mainly due to the force of gravity.
7
At extremely high flows, kolks, or vortices are formed by large volumes of rapidly rushing water.
8
A major geomorphological force, especially in arid and semi-arid regions.
