Two human activities that increase the rate of erosion include farming and deforestation. Both make the top cover of the soil loose making it very easy for it to be carried away by agents of erosion such as wind and water. On the other hand, two natural events that can lead to increased <span>erosion rate include floods and earthquake.</span>

Scientists agree that 2018 was one of the warmest years on planet earth. The weather phenomenon called "El Niño" o "La Niña" directly affects the temperature of the planet each year. The region of the Mediterranean Sea had the most elevated temperatures. On the other hand, regions of North America and Canada had lower temperatures than average.
Answer:
D) uniformitarianism; the geologic processes that operated in the past are the same as those that operate today, and they occurred in accordance with the same laws of nature that are operating today
Explanation:
When geologists conclude that the Grand Canyon sequence of rocks was formed through hundreds of millions of years of deposition, mountain building, and erosion, they are basing this conclusion on the principle of <u>uniformitarianism </u>which states that <u>the geologic processes that operated in the past are the same as those that operate today, and they occurred in accordance with the same laws of nature that are operating today</u>.
Uniformitarianism is a theory in geology which states that the changes in the earth's crust during geological history is as a result of actions of uniform and continuous processes, that the geological processes occurring currently are same processes that have been occurring in history and every part of the world and is continuous.
