I can’t see the figure you’re referring to (ErosionRatesAQ2). Please either upload the diagram or describe the two landscapes (slope steepness, rock/soil type, vegetation cover, drainage patterns).
General guidance you can use to decide:
- Steeper slopes → faster erosion (gravity, more runoff energy).
- Less vegetation cover → faster erosion (less root/plant protection).
- Softer/less cohesive rock or thin soil → faster erosion.
- Higher drainage density or concentrated flow paths → faster erosion.
So:
- If Landscape A is steeper or has less vegetation/softer rock than B → A will erode faster.
- If B is steeper or less protected → B will erode faster.
- If they are identical except for orientation or nothing important differs → same rate.
If you upload or describe the two landscapes I’ll pick the correct choice and explain why.
