Sedimentation and erosion control certification questions
well answered to pass rated A+ 2025 updated
1. Erosion is the process by which land surface is
worn away by the action of wind, water,
and gravity.
2. Sedimentation is the settling of soil particles
3. Soil erosion is classified as either wind , water
erosion or erosion
4. Water erosion can be classified as either overland , stream
erosion or erosion
5. Four processes of overland erosion splash erosion, sheet erosion, rill erosion,
gully
erosion
6. Four principle factors soil characteristics, vegetative cover,
influencing soil erosion are
topogra- phy, climate
7. Physical effects of erosion and sedimen- increase flooding, reduce hydraulic
capacity, in-
tation creased maintenance of storm water systems,
increased water treatment costs,
decreased recreational value
8. Biological effects of erosion and reduced light for aquatic plants, clogs fish gills,
sedi- mentation impairs spawning, disrupts food chain,
blankets bottom, disrupts ecosystem
9. Minimize the of the area exposed extent, duration
at one time and the of exposure
10. Apply practices to protect runoff and to protect
the disturbed area from off-site off-site areas from
