Name and describe the three main processes by which weathering can take place and explain the difference between weathering and erosion.
Describe why the type B (arid) climate on Koppen's classification is distributed along the 20-30 latitudes and which process(es) ensures that the climate is dry.
2) Explain why on the Hjulström diagram (relationship between
particle size and the tendency to be eroded, transported, or
deposited at different water velocities), the line representing
critical entrainment velocity is curved and why it differs greatly
from the line of fall velocity.
