Erosion and Weathering 2
How do plant roots help prevent erosion?
Plant roots help hold soil in place so that it is not blown away by wind or washed away by water
Erosion and Weathering 4
What is the difference between erosion and weathering?
Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks into small particles.Erosion is the movement of those particles
