The changing Earth's surface affects society through landslides, land subsidence, floods and other natural hazards. These disasters can be both deadly and costly to society: the Thistle landslide was the most costly single landslide event in U.S. history with costs exceeding $400 million. Land began shifting in Thistle, Utah in 1983 because of groundwater buildup from heavy rains during the previous fall and the melting of deep snowpack from the winter. Within a few weeks, the landslide dammed the Spanish Fork River, destroying U.S. Highway 6 and the main line of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. The landslide dam caused flood waters to rise which in turn led to lead the inundation of the surrounding area. The town of Thistle was completely obliterated.

Entropy A) is the total energy in a system. B) tends to decrease the total energy in the universe. C) when multiplied times the

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The entropy is usually defined as the measure of the total thermal energy of a system per unit temperature. This amount of energy is used in performing valuable work. In simple words, it can be said that entropy is related to the disorder or degree of randomness of a particular system. This entropy concept gives proper information regarding the direction along which natural change occurs and is frequently observed in many present-day events.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

Does any landform on Earth’s surface look the same as it did 5 million years ago? explain why or why not.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Earth's surface didn't look much different. With few exceptions.

The global climate is cooler and drier, and seasonal, similar to modern climates. As the climate began to cool down grasslands continued to expand and forests started to dwindle in extent. In the seas, kelp forests made their first appearance and soon became one of Earth's most productive ecosystems. Water from the Atlantic Ocean poured in through the Strait of Gibraltar to deluge the Mediterranean Basin. The event is called the Zanclean flood. Parts of of southern Norway and southern Sweden that had been near sea level rose to form the Hardangervidda plateau and the South Swedish highlands.

Shorty after, the glaciations, uplift of the Rocky mountains and Panama seaway closure began to reshape the Earth.
