What is transport of the weathering products?
As the process of weathering proceeds the products are carried off. The most important transporting agent is water. Other transporting agents include wind which blows dust and sand, glaciers, which carry large amounts of gravel and huge boulders in addition to smaller particles, and mass wasting on hillslopes.
What is weathering and transportation?
Transportation is the movement of material across the Earth’s surface by water, wind, ice or gravity. It includes the physical processes of traction (dragging), suspension (being carried) and saltation (bouncing) and the chemical process of solution. Transportation and weathering are the two phases of erosion.
How the wind transport weathered materials to another place?
Wind deflation Wind causes the lifting and transport of lighter particles from a dry soil, leaving behind a surface of coarse grained sand and rocks. The removed particles will be transported to another region where they may form sand dunes on a beach or in a desert.
Which one is transported soil?
The soil which is Transported and deposited by the rivers are known as alluvial soil. The soil which is transported by the lake is known as Lacustrine soil.
Which soils are transported soils?
The transported soil is further classified based on their transportation and deposition method.
- Alluvial Deposits.
- Marine Deposits.
- Lacustrine Deposits.
- Aeoline Deposits.
- Glacial Deposits.
- Colluvial Deposits.

Which of these materials is transported by erosion?
Erosion is the process by which soil and rock particles are worn away and moved elsewhere by gravity, or by a moving transport agent – wind, water or ice.
What are the types of transportation process?
Transport
- Solution – minerals are dissolved in the water and carried along in solution.
- Suspension – fine light material is carried along in the water.
- Saltation – small pebbles and stones are bounced along the river bed.
- Traction – large boulders and rocks are rolled along the river bed.
