FOR AGES 3 YEARS TO 18 YEARS
At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.

Erosion takes place due to wind erosion caused by strong waves of wind, biological erosion taking place in the thin layer of the Earth's surface along with rock formation on the land, and many other types of erosion.
Ice erosion has led to the formation of strong ocean waves with an increase in the water level of the ocean, which naturally led to a decrease in the surface of land. Low inflation means that loose particles of landscape tend to leave organic material intact, which is much more susceptible to low inflation.
Deflation caused by wind particles causes dry areas. The flowing of rock particles also causes the formation of beaches near the ocean and small islands. The soil which comes down from rock particles at the top of a hill is known to cause water erosion.
There are three main types of erosion: chemical, physical, and biological. Apart from this, there is mass-movement erosion, streambank erosion, fluvial erosion, and surface erosion.
Physical erosion is the most common type and is caused by the natural powerful forces of water, wind, ice, and gravity. Chemical erosion is caused by the natural chemical weathering of rocks. Biological erosion is caused by plants and animals.
All three types of erosion are important in shaping the Earth's surface. Physical erosion is responsible for creating valleys and canyons, chemical erosion is responsible for wearing down rocks, and biological erosion is responsible for creating soil.
In addition to the natural causes of erosion, human activities can also cause erosion. Activities like mining, construction, and deforestation can damage the Earth's surface and increase the rate of erosion.
It is important to be aware of the potential actions that could lead to erosion and take steps to prevent them from happening. By being mindful of our impact on the Earth's surface, we can help protect this important aspect of our environment. Erosion is also affected by climate change such as increased rain or wind, or changes in temperature that can affect the rate of erosion.
Biological erosion is caused by plants and animals. Chemical erosion is caused by the natural chemical weathering of rocks such as sedimentary rock. Physical erosion is the most common type and is caused by the natural force of water, wind, ice, and gravity.
The hydrosphere is the part of the Earth that is made up of water. The erosion effect can have several impacts on the hydrosphere.
Changes to the amount and distribution of water: Erosion can change the course of rivers and streams and can also alter the absorption and evaporation of water. This can affect the amount and distribution of water around the planet.
Changes to the quality of water: Erosion can release pollutants into water bodies, which can contaminate them and make the water unsafe for human use or wildlife.
Impacts on aquatic life: Erosion can affect the habitat of aquatic life and can also cause sedimentation, which can make it difficult for aquatic life to breathe and survive.
Flooding: Erosion can increase the risk of flooding by causing rivers and streams to overflow their banks, or by altering the absorption and evaporation of water.
Depletion of water resources: Erosion can cause loss of water resources, which can impact the availability of water for human use and agriculture.
Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces through natural chemical and physical processes.
Erosion is the process by which those smaller pieces of rock are moved from one place to another.
Weathering occurs over a long period, while erosion can happen quickly. Weathering is responsible for creating new rocks, while erosion is responsible for moving those rocks around. Weathering and erosion are both important in shaping the Earth's surface.
What causes erosion to happen?
Several factors can cause erosion to happen, such as the force of water, wind, ice, gravity, and human activities that causes erosion.
What is erosion by animals?
Erosion by animals is a type of biological erosion. It occurs when animals like rodents, worms, and birds burrow through the soil, or when they scratch and peck at the Earth's surface. This can cause the loss of soil and damage plants and trees.
How does erosion shape the Earth?
Erosion is an important part of Earth's geology and is responsible for shaping the planet's surface. There are three main types of erosion: chemical, physical, and biological. Ice erosion, wind erosion, powerful air particles, large floods, heavy rain, small streams, giant rivers, thin layers of soil, rock particles of land, along with the main force of ocean waves, help in the formation of the Earth's surface.
What are erosion and deposition?
Erosion is the process by which rocks are moved from one place to another. A deposition is a process by which rocks are deposited in a new location. Erosion and deposition work together to constantly change the Earth's surface. Erosion moves rocks from one place to another, while deposition deposits those rocks in a new location.
How can erosion be prevented?
Planting trees and plants, constructing barriers, restoring damaged landscapes, installing drainage systems, managing land use, collecting and disposing of trash can help in the prevention of erosion.
