The term "erosion" best describes how soil and rock pieces travel from one location to another.

Erosion in earth science refers to the activity of surface processes, such as wind or water currents, that shift rock, soil, or dissolved material from one area in the Earth's crust to another. The dynamic action of erosive elements including ice, water, snow, plants, wind, animals, and people causes this natural phenomenon.

Earthen materials are worn away during erosion, a geological process in which they are moved by wind or water. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and temperature changes are some of the weathering agents. Erosion is the process by which the broken pieces of rock and mineral are carried away after a rock has been fractured.

What is the thermocline?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Beneath 200 meters, ocean waters cools at a constant rate of 1°C per 100 meters depth.

Explanation:

The ocean water is with the same characteristics throughout all of the oceans. The differences come in differences in temperature, density, salinity, etc. When it comes to temperature, it is what influences the other characteristics, and it is what causes the movement of water in the oceans.

The movement of ocean water occurs because in some parts, the ocean water gets cold, while in others it gets warm. The cold water drops deeper and moves toward the less dense warmer water, and as it gradually warms up itself it rises, pushing the warm water in opposite direction. The water is mixing at the surface, but this is not the case below 200 meters of depth, where water mixing stops. This zone, where the water is not mixing, is known as the thermocline and exists as such throughout all of the oceans.
