The type of water erosion that forms larger channels down a steep slope is called gully erosion. Gully and rill erosion are the dominant types of water erosion in the world.
False. Erosion control should begin before the first evidence of erosion. When building bridges over waterways, construction contractors are already devising ways to control erosion so the bridge does not fall into the water later on.
Weathering is the breaking down of rock and erosion carries it away. Both of them contribute in some way to the formation of new soil.

Types of erosions include sheet erosion, rill erosion, gully erosion, and streambank erosion. Sheet erosion occurs when a thin layer of soil is removed by rainfall or runoff, while rill erosion creates small channels in the soil. Gully erosion forms larger, deeper channels, and streambank erosion refers to the wearing away of soil along river or stream banks.

The five types of erosion are water erosion, wind erosion, glacier erosion, wave erosion, and mass movement erosion. Each type of erosion is caused by different forces and processes that wear away or transport soil and rock material from one place to another.
The 3 main types of glacial erosion are plucking, abrasion and freeze thaw.
Three transporting agents of erosion are water, wind, and ice. Water erosion is caused by rivers, streams, and rainfall, while wind erosion occurs in arid and windy environments. Ice erosion, known as glacial erosion, is caused by the movement of glaciers.
The four types of water erosion are sheet erosion, rill erosion, gully erosion, and streambank erosion. Sheet erosion occurs when water flows evenly over a surface, rill erosion happens when small channels are formed in the soil, gully erosion involves larger channels, and streambank erosion is the wearing away of stream banks.
Erosion is the process of wearing away of land by natural elements such as wind, water, and ice. The different types of erosion include water erosion (due to rivers and rainfall), wind erosion (due to wind carrying away soil particles), glacier erosion (due to moving glaciers), and coastal erosion (due to wave action along coastlines).
Weathering or erosion.
Erosion can occur through water erosion (rivers, waves), wind erosion (blowing sand and soil), glacial erosion (movement of ice), and chemical erosion (dissolving of rocks by acids).
