Biological weathering is where the processes of living organisms‚ animals and plants‚ help to weather rocks to aid in the process of erosion. Examples of Biological weathering are tree roots growing and expanding through cracks in the rock‚ especially those which hold a lot of water within them‚ and the decomposition of dead animals and plants produces acidic by-products that slowly corrode the rock. These processes can take thousands of years to begin to see any real results. Biological weathering

10 REASONS WHY TREE PLANTING IS IMPORTANT 1. Trees Produce Oxygen Let’s face it; we could not exist as we do if there were no trees. A mature leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year. What many people don’t realize is the forest also acts as a giant filter that cleans the air we breath. 2. Trees Clean the Soil The term phytoremediation is a fancy word for the absorption of dangerous chemicals and other pollutants that have entered the soil. Trees can either

also be keen in protecting the environment. They would learn from Singapore to prevent undesired disasters. Nature reserves could also save lives. Roots of trees make soil stable and prevent soil erosion and soil leaching from happening. Thanks to nature reserves‚ there are only a few cases of soil erosion happening in Singapore. On the other hand‚ by setting aside land for nature reserves‚ Singapore is unable to continue her development smoothly. Since land in Singapore is limited‚ she should make

Soil erosion: Soil erosion can be defined as the destruction of the top layer of the soil as a result of natural or human activities. Soil erosion refers to the carrying away of soil. Soil erosion is also serious type of environmental degradation. It affects crop production‚ pollutes water resources and causes many other direct and indirect problems

Coastal Erosion‚ Coastal Transportation and Coastal Deposition. The elements that interact to produce natural processes are wind‚ waves and tides. Each phenomenon at Muriwai’s coastal geographic environment has been produced by interaction. Coastal Erosion is a process at Muriwai that gradually wears away the rock particles of the earth’s surface‚ transporting them to another location. There are many types of processes that cause erosion at Muriwai such as wave erosion‚ wind erosion

A lot of the rainforest in the area has had to be cleared‚ which has led to soil erosion. This also means that a lot of the land is then not suitable to be used for farming anymore. What makes it worse is that wild animals destroy the crops‚ which causes a major shortage. A problem that has occurred is that there has been conflict between
