  2. Erosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erosion

    Erosion and changes in the form of river banks may be measured by inserting metal rods into the bank and marking the position of the bank surface along the rods at different times. [23] Thermal erosion is the result of melting and weakening permafrost due to moving water. [24] It can occur both along rivers and at the coast.

  3. Tirukkural translations into Telugu - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tirukkural_translations...

    With the first translation of the Kural text into Telugu made in 1877, Telugu has seen a series of translations before the turn of the 20th century. [1] The first translation was titled Trivarga Dipika made by Venkatrama Srividyanandaswami of the Kanuparti family, who presented it with elaborate notes. [2]

  4. Denudation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denudation

    Denudation is the geological process in which moving water, ice, wind, and waves erode the Earth's surface, leading to a reduction in elevation and in relief of landforms and landscapes.

  5. Soil erosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_erosion

    Bank erosion is the wearing away of the banks of a stream or river. This is distinguished from changes on the bed of the watercourse, which is referred to as scour. Erosion and changes in the form of river banks may be measured by inserting metal rods into the bank and marking the position of the bank surface along the rods at different times. [17]

  6. Revegetation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revegetation

    The motivations behind revegetation are diverse, answering needs that are both technical and aesthetic, but it is usually erosion prevention that is the primary reason. Revegetation helps prevent soil erosion , enhances the ability of the soil to absorb more water in significant rain events, and in conjunction reduces turbidity dramatically in ...

  7. Tillage erosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tillage_Erosion

    Conceptually, the process of tillage erosion (E Ti) can be described as a function of tillage erosivity (ET) and landscape erodibility (EL): [9]. E Ti = f(ET, EL) . Tillage erosivity (ET) is defined as the propensity of a tillage operation, or a sequence of operations, to erode soil and is affected by the design and operation of the tillage implement (e.g., the size, arrangement and shape of ...

  8. Coastal erosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastal_erosion

    Coastal erosion may be caused by hydraulic action, abrasion, impact and corrosion by wind and water, and other forces, natural or unnatural. [3] On non-rocky coasts, coastal erosion results in rock formations in areas where the coastline contains rock layers or fracture zones with varying resistance to erosion.

  9. Erosion index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erosion_index

    The erosion index (EI, also called the erodibility index) is created by dividing potential erosion (from all sources except gully erosion) by the T value, which is the rate of soil erosion above which long term productivity may be adversely affected.
