TRUE / FALSE: A hillside WITH vegetation will have less erosion and run-off than a hillside WITHOUT vegetation.
high-energy waves carry sediment away from the shore
sudden downhill movement of a large amount of dry, loose rocks and soil
water flows uniformly over a wide area and removes an even amount of sediment
the impact from a raindrop moves a small piece of sediment
light rainfall on a gentle slope with vegetation
True
solid mass of rocks and soil that travels downhill a short distance
a slow, gradual downhill movement of rocks and sediment
