Sheet erosion, Pullman, Washington, 1946 Sheet erosion or sheet wash is the even erosion of substrate along a wide area. [1] It occurs in a wide range of settings such as coastal plains, hill slopes, floodplains, beaches, [2] savanna plains [3] and semi-arid plains. [4]

The complexities involved in studying sheet flows, including the need for advanced modeling techniques to accurately simulate flow dynamics and sediment transport mechanisms.
Colluvium (also colluvial material or colluvial soil) is a general name for loose, unconsolidated sediments that have been deposited at the base of hillslopes by either rainwash, sheetwash, slow continuous downslope creep, or a variable combination of these processes.

Rivers transport sediment particles that are at the same time the tools for erosion but also the shield protecting the bedrock. How important is this double role of sediment for the evolution of landscapes? [7] [8] How resilient is the ocean to chemical perturbations? [citation needed] What controls the dynamics of storm tracks? [9]
These are tools used in the study of Geology or by Geologists. But not necessarily Mining which has a category:Mining equipment already. Pages in category "Geological tools"
In terms of stream restoration, head cuts are one of the most difficult challenges. Installing check dams or elevating the stream by filling the gully are common ways to mitigate up stream migration of the knickpoint. Another common way to control the knickpoint is by sloping the bank face by laying down fabric and rock.
