Eolian erosion of the Martian surface, part 1: Erosion rate similitude
Icarus, 1975A similitude parameter is derived which is based on theoretical considerations of erosion due to sand in saltation. This parameter has been used to correlate wind tunnel experiments of particle flow over model craters. The characteristics of the flow field in the vicinity and downstream of a crater are discussed and it is shown that erosion is ...

What factors control mechanical erosion rates?
International Journal of Earth Sciences, 2000Mechanical erosion rates are important factors in understanding how continents evolve. Mechanical erosion is much faster than chemical erosion, especially for highly elevated regions of the Earth's surface. It is a principal way in which mountain ranges are removed, exposing deep metamorphic roots, which comprise much of the older portions of the ...

Effects of Bulk Density on Sediment Erosion Rates
Water, Air, and Soil Pollution, 1997By means of a recently developed flume, sediment erosion rates as a function of shear stress and with depth in the sediments have previously been determined for relatively undisturbed sediments from several rivers and lakes. These experiments demonstrated that erosion rates depended on at least the following parameters: bulk density (or water content ...

Calculation of Rates of Gully Erosion
Journal of Geological Education, 1980Site measurements and collection of rainfall and runoff data will provide an earth science student with the necessary information to calculate stream discharges and approximate rates of erosion within a small drainage basin. Drainage ditches (gullys) associated with shopping center parking lots can provide a readily accessible area to monitor. The area

CARBONATE EROSION RATES IN SOUTHWESTERN WISCONSIN
Physical Geography, 1984Between 1977 and 1979 three sets of erosional weight loss tablets were em-placed in the karst of southwestern Wisconsin to measure both potential and actual rates of carbonate erosion. Tablets of Jamaican White Limestone, which has been used in many other karst areas, were used to gauge relative erosion potential while tablets of the local bedrock ...
