Endangered landscape & water

• Erosion - the transport of soil & sediments across a landscape.
• Erosion is responsible for the creation of some hills and valleys
• Detachment - requires the breaking of bonds that hold particles together to the source.
• weathered materials are normally were susceptible to detachment than unweathered materials.
• Entertrainment - second step of erosion.
• Entertrainment involves the lifting of particles by the agent of erosion.
• Transportation - third stage of erosion, where the particle is moved from its original location.
• Deposition - final stage of erosion, when the particle reaches its new location.
• Presence of Infectious Agents Water pollutants include disease-causing organisms such as cholera, typhoid fever, hepatitis, bacterial and amoebic dysentery, polio, and schistosomiasis.
