The Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS) is a daily simulation model which outputs average soil loss and deposition values for selected areas and periods of time. It is applicable to just one field, or can be applied to a few adjacent fields.
Activity 12: Wind & Ice Erosion. Our landscape is shaped by erosion. Wind and ice erosion are two main types of erosion that occur in extreme heat or extreme cold. Different types of wind and ice erosion are discussed in this activity. To teach students about ice and wind erosion.
