No amount of surface erosion can explain such a thing.

But surface erosion indicates that in the past there was an abundance of water.

While it is possible to use only pressure to remove coating, this will cause additional surface erosion.

Surface erosion is a typical sign of electric arc damage.

However it is the forest floor, more than the canopy, that prevents surface erosion.

There is considerable evidence of fine roots resisting surface erosion.

Surface erosion shows water probably flowed on the Martian plains in the past.

Very few structures, whether natural or constructed, can withstand surface erosion for that long."

The removal of vegetation increases the rate of surface erosion.

Moreover, the steps created in this way and suitably achieved also reduce surface erosion.

It is thought that the fine roots help keep the surface soil together and prevent surface erosion.

It could also help explain why Mars has lost much of the atmosphere and water that appear to have once existed, judging by surface erosion.

In surface erosion, the polymer degrades from the exterior surface.

Those that accumulate or retain an atmosphere can also undergo surface erosion from wind or water.

Surface erosion can expose such preserved materials.

In surface erosion, the erosion rate is directly proportional to the surface area of the material.

Perennials of all kinds establish thick root systems which tie up soil and prevent surface erosion by wind and water.

The table below summarizes how a parameter can be modified to favor surface erosion or bulk erosion.

For example, blending a polymer with another polymer that is very reactive to water will speed up the degradation process and cause surface erosion.

Other studies, however, have shown that these chemicals remain adsorbed to surface soil particles, making them more susceptible to surface erosion than infiltration.

The range is an example of a buried mountain range exposed through erosion, to once again undergo the forces of surface erosion.

Roots reinforce the soil through growing across failure planes, root columns acting as piles, and through limiting surface erosion.

Surface erosion of the surface of a levee is usually caused by the action of wind and water (waves but also normal flow).

Land Surface erosion, topography ...

A breach can be a sudden or gradual failure, caused either by surface erosion or by subsurface weakness in the levee.
