Can anyone translate this huge piece of text into text message language?
?
Its my geography homework, stupid i know, i’m in Y12!!!
“The process of erosion is a direct effect of the Hydrological cycle. It takes place due to the flow of either water or ice over the land, in this instance we are focusing on rivers. Erosion can be split into four main categories; Corrosion, Attrition, Abrasion and Hydraulic Action.
Corrosion is where the chemicals in the rock and ground within the banks and bed of the river are dissolved by the river water. This tends to be a slow process but factors such as rock type and water acidity will have effects and this process is not necessarily associated with and particular stage of the rivers course.
Attrition involves sediments colliding with each other as the river carries them downstream. This process can also be found at any point along the river but less at the lower course where sediment particles are very fine. The result of this process is that jagged rocks become smoother which is why the majority of jagged rocks can be found in the upper course and the majority of smoother rocks can be found in the mid to lower course.
Abrasion is similar to attrition; it is where sediments are dragged along the bed and banks of the river eroding the sediments down. This process is most effective at turbulent periods when the river is in high flow or flood, here large sediments on the river bed can be eroded. But during periods of low flow fine sediments are able to continue the process.
Finally, hydraulic action is the sheer power of the water causing the rock and sediments to break apart and erode. Hydraulic action is mainly located at areas of turbulent water such as in the upper course with rapids of at the plunge pools of waterfalls. It does though occur on the outside bank of meanders where the fine particles of the river bank are picked up increasing the size of the meander. Ultimately during flood the rate of hydraulic action is increased dramatically.”
dont worry if u cant be bothered, i cant… cheers anyway ;)
