What is difference between denudation and erosion
Answers
Answer:
In geology, denudation involves the processes that cause the wearing away of the Earth's surface by moving water, by ice, by wind and by waves, leading to a reduction in elevation and in relief of landforms and of landscapes. ... Erosion occurs in soils during short periods of time.
Answer:
Denudation is a natural phenomenon related to changes in landforms in geological periods. In geology, denudation involves the processes that cause the wearing away of the Earth's surface by moving water, by ice, by wind and by waves, leading to a reduction in elevation and in relief of landforms and of landscapes. It occurs in large landforms (mountains, seashores, etc.) over a period of thousands of years. Weathering of mountains and soil formation over long periods are classed as denudation.
Erosion: Soil erosion is a man-made problem due to mismanagement of farming lands. Erosion occurs in soils during short periods of time.Sandy soils on flat land ans all soils on sloping lands are easily erodible by water. Lose soils without any plant cover are eroded by wind and water. During dust storms, fine particles of exposed soils are carried and deposited by the wind tens and hundreds of kilometers away from the site of erosion. Erosion is a man-made problem due to clearing of land from forests for farming, intensive tillage on flat land, lack of plant cover over soils, tilling and farming of lands on steep slopes, and absence of barriers (e.g., contour hedges) on farmed lands located over gentle slopes.
