In splash erosion, the impact of a falling raindrop creates a small crater in the soil, ejecting soil particles. The distance these soil particles travel can be as much as 0.6 m (two feet) vertically and 1.5 m (five feet) horizontally on level ground.
Io is composed primarily of rocky material with very little iron. Io is located within an intense radiation belt of electrons and ions trapped in Jupiter's magnetic field. As the magnetosphere rotates with Jupiter, it sweeps past Io and strips away about 1,000 kilograms (1 ton) of material per second.o is composed primarily of rocky material with very little iron.

Composition. Jupiter is mainly composed of gases primarily hydrogen and helium. Hydrogen makes up most of the gases with a mass composition of 75% while helium is a quarter of its mass of about 24%.The remaining one percent consists of other elements.upiter is mainly composed of gases primarily hydrogen and helium.
