Explain the following types of erosion; splash, sheet, and gully.

Splash erosion is the first stage of the erosion

process. It occurs when raindrops hit bare soil. The

explosive impact breaks up soil aggregates so that

individual soil particles are ‘splashed’ onto the soil

surface.

Sheet erosion is the removal of soil in thin layers

by raindrop impact and shallow surface flow. It

results in loss of the finest soil particles that

contain most of the available nutrients and organic

matter in the soil.

gully erosion is when the water movement is powerful enough to increase the channels to larger gully pathways greater than 3/10 of an inch, that is when gully erosion occurs. This type of water erosion can be caused by rainfall or melting snow as it moves. It occurs in areas where runoff water accumulates and flows quickly.

c is the correct answer hope this !

above statement is not a true statement about the open ocean because the open ocean has low levels of nutrients. most of the photosynthetic activity on earth occurs in the open ocean within the photic zone. organisms in the deep ocean are exposed to frigid temperatures and total darkness but it does not begin at the low-tide mark.
