Difference between Dust storm and Erosion

Dust storm vs. Erosion

A dust storm is a meteorological phenomenon common in arid and semi-arid regions. In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that remove soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transport it to another location (not to be confused with weathering which involves no movement).

Similarities between Dust storm and Erosion

Dust storm and Erosion have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Agriculture, Arid, Deposition (geology), Downhill creep, Saltation (geology), Semi-arid climate, Wind.

Agriculture

Agriculture is the cultivation of land and breeding of animals and plants to provide food, fiber, medicinal plants and other products to sustain and enhance life.

Arid

A region is arid when it is characterized by a severe lack of available water, to the extent of hindering or preventing the growth and development of plant and animal life.

Deposition (geology)

Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass.

Downhill creep

Downhill creep, also known as soil creep or commonly just creep, is the slow downward progression of rock and soil down a low grade slope; it can also refer to slow deformation of such materials as a result of prolonged pressure and stress.

Saltation (geology)

In geology, saltation (from Latin saltus, "leap") is a specific type of particle transport by fluids such as wind or water.

Semi-arid climate

A semi-arid climate or steppe climate is the climate of a region that receives precipitation below potential evapotranspiration, but not as low as a desert climate.

Dust storm and Erosion Comparison

Dust storm has 74 relations, while Erosion has 152. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 3.10% = 7 / (74 + 152).
