An equation modeling this process includes factors for topographic effects and crop management and is called the USLE. It's not the dispersal of fungal spores, but one mechanism by which this process occurs is called rain splash. A gabion is a structure built to prevent this phenomenon, which may involve particles moving by either saltation or creep. When the products of this process, which is often paired with weathering, are deposited, they become sediment. For 10 points, name this process by which soil and rocks are broken down by wind or water.
