About: Sheet erosion

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Sheet erosion or sheet wash is the even erosion of substrate along a wide area. It occurs in a wide range of settings such as coastal plains, , floodplains, beaches, savanna plains and semi-arid plains. Water moving fairly uniformly with a similar thickness over a surface is called sheet flow, and is the cause of sheet erosion. Sheet erosion implies that any flow of water that causes the erosion is not canalized. If a hillslope surface contains many irregularities, sheet erosion may give way to erosion along small channels called rills, which can then converge forming gullies. However, sheet erosion may occur despite some limited unevenness in the sheet flow arising from clods of earth, rock fragments, or vegetation.

  • تعرية السطح أو تآكل السطح (بالإنجليزية: Sheet erosion) أو غسل السطح (بالإنجليزية: sheet wash)، هو نوع من التآكل حيث يتم نقل حطام السطح إلى أسفل المنحدر عبر المنحدر السطحي. يحدث تآكل الصفيحة في مجموعة واسعة من الإعدادات مثل السهول الساحلية والتلال والسهول الفيضية والشواطئ. يعني تآكل السطح أن أي تدفق للمياه يؤدي إلى التآكل لا يتم ترميمه. إذا كان سطح المنحدر يحتوي على العديد من المخالفات، فإن تآكل السطح قد يفسح المجال للتآكل على طول قنوات صغيرة تسمى الكتل التي يمكن أن تتقارب وتشكل أخاديد. ومع ذلك، قد يحدث تآكل السطح على الرغم من بعض التباين المحدود في تدفق الصفيحة الناشئة عن تكتلات الأرض أو شظايا الصخور أو الغطاء النباتي.

  • Sheet erosion or sheet wash is the even erosion of substrate along a wide area. It occurs in a wide range of settings such as coastal plains, , floodplains, beaches, savanna plains and semi-arid plains. Water moving fairly uniformly with a similar thickness over a surface is called sheet flow, and is the cause of sheet erosion. Sheet erosion implies that any flow of water that causes the erosion is not canalized. If a hillslope surface contains many irregularities, sheet erosion may give way to erosion along small channels called rills, which can then converge forming gullies. However, sheet erosion may occur despite some limited unevenness in the sheet flow arising from clods of earth, rock fragments, or vegetation. Sheet erosion occurs in two steps. First, rainsplash dislodges small particles of the substrate and then the particles are carried away, usually short distances, by a thin and uniform layer of water known as sheetflow. Transport by the sheetflow is usually over small distances, meaning that sheet erosion is a low magnitude process. However, the frequency over time with which this occurs may be high, compensating for the small change observed in each individual episode of sheet erosion. A sheetflood can be distinguished from an ordinary sheetflow by its much greater magnitude and much lesser frequency. Sheetfloods have been associated by various scientists with a number of causes, including: high-intensity rain, low relief, lack of vegetation, low permeability of the substrate, strong weather contrast between seasons, slope form and climate change. Sheetfloods are commonly turbulent while sheetflow may be laminar or turbulent. Sheet erosion is common in recently plowed fields and bare ground where the substrate, typically soil, is not consolidated. The resulting loss of material by sheet erosion may result in the destruction of valuable topsoils. Tough grass, such as vetiver, hinders the development of sheet flow. The sheet erosion caused by a single rainstorm may account for the loss of up to hundred tons of small particles in an acre. It has been argued that in the late Neoproterozoic Era, sheet erosion was a dominant erosion process due to the lack of plants on land. As such, sheet erosion may have contributed to shape important landforms like the Sub-Cambrian peneplain that covers much of the Baltic Shield. (en)
