Sediment correct answer: eroded material suspended in wind or water
Sedimentation correct answer: deposition of eroded material
Types of Erosion correct answer: splash
sheet
rill
gully
channel
Splash erosion correct answer: raindrop impact energy is enough to dislodge surface sediments
sheet erosion correct answer: caused by rain splash detaching soil particles lifting them up and removing them by shallow "sheets" of water flowing down the sloped soil surface
Rill Erosion correct answer: as flow concentrates, small channels begin to form in the soil surface Gully Erosion correct answer: Formed when runoff cuts rills deeper and wider or when flows from several rills come together
and form a large channels
Channel Erosion correct answer: may become unstable due to increased flows or changes in upstream sediment load
Natural erosion correct answer: generally considered due to the influences of climate on the surface of the earth
Accelerated erosion correct answer: natural erosion plus human activities
