The Latin word denudatio came to Spanish as denudation . The concept is used with reference to the act and result of stripping : stripping, removing, stripping.
The process that causes the leaves or bark of trees to fall off is called denudation. This denudation can be caused by multiple factors that cause the specimen to lose some of its parts.
In the field of geology , denudation occurs when the outermost layer of the Earth 's crust detaches as a result of the action of an external agent. In this case, denudation is usually linked to erosion , although it can also be associated with sediment transport and weathering .
Denudation encompasses different processes that degrade the land and cause a reduction in its surface . A chemical or physical action, for example, can disintegrate rocks and cause denudation. The same can happen if wind or water carries materials.
In addition to everything indicated, specifically, it is interesting to know what the denudation cycle of the relief is like, which advances through processes such as the following:
-Erosion, which is when the mobilization of materials resulting from a weathering process takes place.
-Transport, which occurs when these eroded materials are transported from one place to another within the earth's surface.
-Sedimentation, which is the process that takes place when materials that are transported by different geological agents are deposited.
Many times denudation is classified as an environmental problem , since it affects the quality of the land and favors flooding. That is why we seek to prevent it or, if its effects are already noticeable, reverse it.
The idea of denudation also appears in the field of medicine and biology. When the epithelial cover disappears due to a pathological cause or surgical intervention, denudation occurs.
In the same way, we cannot ignore the existence in the field of medicine and health of what is known as venous denudation. Under this term is a technique that is carried out in infants and that consists of denuding a vein that has a thick caliber in order to undertake the placement of a large diameter catheter.
Likewise, there is also talk of denudation within what is the fertilization process. Specifically, this term refers to the phase in which the so-called corona radiata detaches. A crown that has different follicular cells that proceed to separate and also disperse due to hyaluronidase, which comes out of the acrosome.
This phase of denudation takes place within fertilization once the stages of penetration of the radiant corona, recognition and adhesion and even the acrosome reaction have occurred.
For epistemology , finally, denudation or denudatio is carried out when the imagination is responsible for eliminating the accidents it receives through the senses to reach the essence of the object that caused the impression.
