Geography
1 answer:
horsena [70]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

It's caused by burial forces

Explanation:

When sediments are deposited on a basin they begin to accumulate over each others, generating a burial force that produces its compaction. Then, some calcite and silica cements help to join the sediments grains creating rocks. That's what geologists call lithification.

This process allow the formation of sedimentary rocks, which usually are laminated because of the horizontal position of sediments accumulation.

Over [174]

Answer:

Explanation:

Un geógrafo es un científico e investigador cuyo campo de estudio es la Geografía, el estudio de la superficie terrestre, tanto en su composición física como en las actividades e interrelaciones humanas que ocurren en ella. Estudian la superficie de la Tierra (geosfera) de acuerdo con sus estructuras espaciales, los procesos que tienen lugar y sus funciones (interacciones entre los geofactores). Trabajan entre las ciencias naturales, las ciencias sociales y las humanidades y se engloban en el grupo de profesiones que manejan información espacial.

Los geógrafos son generalistas debido a la amplitud de su campo de estudio y ser la Geografía una ciencia transversal, lo que le facilita integrarse con otros profesionales en equipos pluridisciplinares. Su forma de trabajar es a la vez analítica y normativa: los geógrafos empleados como planificadores se guían por la comprensión moderna de la planificación y brindan soluciones para los problemas entre los humanos y el medio ambiente.

In what ways have the people of the netherlands changed the physical geography of their land
stepan [7]

Answer:

Glacier Landforms: Trough. Glacial troughs, or glaciated valleys, are long, U-shaped valleys that were carved out by glaciers that have since receded or disappeared. Troughs tend to have flat valley floors and steep, straight sides. Fjords, such as those in Norway, are coastal troughs carved out by glaciers.

Or: Steep U shaped valleys that connect with the sea and fill with water when the glaciers melt. Now keep scrolling;)
