The development of natural landscapes is best explained by which of the following choices? A. Landscape uplift is an ongoing pro
cess to which erosional processes are constantly adjusting. B. Landscape uplift occurs slowly due to plate tectonic processes while erosional processes work much more rapidly. C. Mountain are rapidly built by plate tectonic processes, then slowly worn down by erosion. D. There is no known relationship between landscape uplift and erosional processes.
A. Landscape uplift is an ongoing process to which erosion processes are constantly adjusting
Explanation:
The tectonic upliftment is a total geologic upliftment of the earth and is attributed to the isostatic responses and an increase of the mean elevation of this can only occur due to the changes in the tectonic events such as the mountain building
The effects of the denudation process is also constantly in motion that wears out the surface of the earth. The magnitude and timing s and the rate of these process is a play of the pressure and temperatures system of the earth.
By measuring the quantity of unstable atoms left in a fossil and comparing it to the quantity of stable daughter atoms in the fossil , scientists can estimate the amount of time that has passed since that fossil formed.
