CESSWI EXAM 2026 || 300 ACCURATE QUESTIONS
WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS 100% CORRECT
LATEST UPDATE
Erosion - ANSWER process in which, by the actions of
wind and/or water, soil particles detached and
transported
Sediment - ANSWER eroded material suspended in wind
or water
Sedimentation - ANSWER deposition of eroded material
Types of Erosion -
ANSWER splash sheet
rill
gull
y
,channel
Splash erosion - ANSWER raindrop impact energy is
enough to dislodge surface sediments
sheet erosion - ANSWER caused by rain splash
detaching soil particles lifting them up and removing
them by shallow "sheets" of water flowing down the
sloped soil surface
Rill Erosion - ANSWER as flow concentrates, small
channels begin to form in the soil surface
Gully Erosion - ANSWER Formed when runoff cuts rills
deeper and wider or when flows from several rills
come together and form a large channels
,Channel Erosion - ANSWER may become unstable due
to increased flows or changes in upstream sediment
load
Natural erosion - ANSWER generally considered due to
the influences of climate on the surface of the earth
Accelerated erosion - ANSWER natural erosion plus
human activities
What problems can accelerated erosion cause? -
ANSWER Unrestricted development removal of surface
cover
increased
imperviousness
poor
stewardship
, Problems associated with construction related
erosion - ANSWER problems for down slope property
owners
nuisance problems
on streets clog
streams and storm
drains increase
turbidity
downstream
cover sensitive habitat with sediment
Recognize instream impacts of sediment - ANSWER
destruction of spawning areas, food sources, habitat
toxicity to wildlife
directly
degradation of lake
flooding of
