The can lead to mass wasting

Explanation:

Weathering and erosion can be a bad thing because they can lead or trigger mass wasting.

  • Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.
  • Erosion is the washing away of weathered materials.
  • Mass-wasting is the movement of materials down-slope under gravity.

  • Both weathering and erosion can lead to serious problems like mass-wasting because they are earth moving processes.
  • Weathering can lead to the formation of sinkholes in an area where rocks are decomposed chemically.
  • Erosion can wash away top fertile layer of soil and makes them bare. This can lead to drought.
  • Rock fall can be initiated when rocks physically disintegrate.
  • Chemical weathering can lead to rust and destruction of structures.
  • Undercutting of structures by erosion can lead to the collapse of bridges.

This depends on the pressure where the substance is subjected. Also, the phase can be determined by a phase diagram where it shows the phase of a certain substance at a specific temperature and pressure.

Alex17521 [72]
Alloys are supposed to give greater strength to metals, which is why gold is mixed with others to make it harder. They have greater strength and are more resistant to erosion.
