Soil erosion is the carrying away of the top soil by wind.
Leaching is the process whereby the nutrients in the top fertile soil are washed down the soil such that crops cannot reach and absorb the nutrients.

How does phosphorus enter an ecosystem?
Phosphate enters aquatic ecosystems as a result of erosion, leaching, run-off.
Difference between erosion and transportation?
Erosion refers to the process wherein soil and rock particles are worn away and moved elsewhere. Transportation, meanwhile, refers to the processes by which sediments or other substances are moved along.
What is the role of leaching in the nitrogen cycle?

What is the difference between a landscape dominated by depositional processes and a landscape dominated by erosional processes?
Deposition is when particals are dropped of and left. Erosion is where particales are carried away

How does leaching transport materials from the a horizon to the b horizon?

How does leaching fit into the rock cycle?
Leaching contributes to rock rot, thus aiding erosion of large rocks into smaller particles.
How does leaching by ground water cause erosion?

What is the difference between erosion and wind erosion?
what is the difference between gravitational erosion and wind erotion? what are the similarities betwen the two? give examples of what happens during these occurrences
What is the difference between weather and erosion?
the difference between weathering & erosion is quite simple weathering breaks down and erosion carries it away like a blow dryer
Explain the difference between leaching and calcification?
Leaching is a process in which minerals are extracted from a solid by dissolving it into a liquid. Calcification is the build up of calcium salts in body tissue.

What is the difference between glacial erosion and water erosion?
Glacial erosion is caused by ice, while water erosion is caused by liquid water.

Is there any difference between erosion and weathering of rocks?
erosion reqiures movement and weathering doesnt
How does terracing help to prevent soil erosion?
Terracing prevents erosion, leaching and surface run-off, by trapping and slowing the water and soil that are being washed away.
