Rates of erosion would be greater in:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Steep mountains have a greater rate of erosion due to gravity and the steepness of the slope which allows for faster water flow and mass wasting processes. Flat lowlands have lower rates of erosion due to slower water flow and gentle slopes, while erosion near the mouth of a river is dependent on the amount and velocity of water flow and can vary. Dry desert valleys typically have low rates of erosion due to infrequent rainfall and lack of water flow.
