About

I was happy when I was selected to join my secondary school. When I was in Standard 4, I was not good in the class, but when I started Standard 5, my marks improved and I maintained the position of #1 student through Standard 7. The hardest part of my life is the challenge of poverty. We live with a less balanced diet and lack school needs and clean water. Sometimes I fail to get school items like books, clothes (uniforms), and mathematical instruments. My dream is to become a pilot and this can be possible through education.

Hello Susan. I am confident of the topic on erosion through water because is much affects our environment. Erosion and deposition are responsible for many land forms. Erosion is the transport of sediments. Agents of erosion
include flowing water, waves, wind, ice, or gravity. Eroded material is eventually dropped somewhere else. This is
called deposition.
How Flowing Water Causes Erosion and Deposition
Flowing water is a very important agent of erosion. Flowing water can erode rocks and soil. Water dissolves
minerals from rocks and carries the ions. This process happens really slowly. But over millions of years, flowing
water dissolves massive amounts of rock.
Moving water also picks up and carries particles of soil and rock. The ability to erode is affected by the velocity,
or speed, of the water. The size of the eroded particles depends on the velocity of the water. Eventually, the water
deposits the materials. As water slows, larger particles are deposited. As the water slows even more, smaller particles
