Answer:
The answer is Batholithic intrusions
Explanation:
The Half Dome is an isolated mass suspended within the batholithic intrusions. Developed due to vertical jointing, exfoliation, and some glacial activity. Steep face of half dome began to take shape as thin slabs of rock b/w parallel vertical joints were loosened by weathering and mass wasting and fell away layer by layer. Tenaya Glacier cleared away exfoliation debris and talus flowing in direction parallel to trend of vertical joints, removed sheets of rock by plucking . Rounded back of Half Dome formed as curved shells of rock exfoliated
The relationship of latitude to climate zones is due to solar radiation which is greatest near the Equator and lesser moving to the poles.
They form when wind blows over the surface of the ocean. Wind energy is transferred to the sea surface. Then, the energy is carried through the water by the waves. This gives waves the energy to erode the shore.
