erodálható

Eródálható is the Hungarian adjective used to describe something that can undergo erosion. It applies to soils, rocks, constructions, and materials that are worn away by natural agents such as water, wind, ice, or chemical processes. The word is formed from erózió (erosion) with the suffix -ható, indicating possibility or capacity.

In geology and geomorphology erodálhatóság refers to how easily a material is removed or reshaped by erosive forces. Erosion can be physical (abrasion, plucking, scouring), chemical (dissolution, corrosion), or biological (bioerosion). In civil engineering, an erodálható surface or substrate is prone to scouring or wear, affecting foundations, embankments, and pavements.

Factors affecting erodálhatóság include intrinsic properties such as grain size, porosity, cohesion, mineralogy, and moisture content, as well as external conditions like flow velocity, shear stress, temperature, pH, salinity, and vegetation cover. Materials with low cohesion, high porosity, or weak mineral bonds tend to be more erodálható.

Measurement and assessment are typically expressed as erosion rate or mass loss over time, often in units such as millimeters per year or grams per square meter per second. In materials science, erodálható polymers or composites are sometimes designed for controlled degradation in environmental or biological conditions.
