While we compared brake fluid flushing to oil changes earlier, this service doesnât need to be done as often. You can change the fluid out every three years or about every 24,000 miles, whichever comes first. When you do get your fluid flushed, be sure you are using the right kind of brake fluid.
Windblown deposits of mineral-rich dust and silt is called loess. The term comes from the German word Loss and from the Alemannic word losch which means loose.
The process of erosion moves bits of rock or soil from one place to another. Most erosion is performed by water, wind, or ice (usually in the form of a glacier). These forces carry the rocks and soil from the places where they were weathered. If water is muddy, it is a sign that erosion is taking place. The brown color indicates that bits of rock and soil are suspended in the water and being transported from one place to another. This transported material is called sediment. When wind or water slows down, or ice melts, sediment is deposited in a new location. As the sediment builds up, it creates fertile land. River deltas are made almost entirely of sediment. Delta sediment is eroded from the banks and bed of the river. Erosion by Water Moving water is the major agent of erosion.
