Wind<span> abrades rock by sandblasting, this is the process in which wind causes the blowing off millions of grains of sand, which bumps across the surface of rocks' surface. it can also happen due to deflation, which is when wind removes the top layer of fine sediment/soil to cause desert pavement. 
</span>Glaciers, however, abrade rock by simply using Gravity. when enough ice builds up on a slope, the ice begins to move downhill. The steeper the slope, the faster the glacier. As glaciers move forward, the material that they picked up scratch and abrade the rock and soil underneath the glacier, which causes erosion<span>.</span>

The ___________ Compromise broke the deadlock at the Constitutional Convention concerning the issue of representation.
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Connecticut Compromise.

Explanation:

The Connecticut Compromise took both the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan, and merged them. It called for a two house (rather than a one house of both plans), and compromised both plans into one. In the Senate, the New Jersey plan was used, in which each state was only allowed 2 representatives each for basic equality, while in the House of Representatives, the Virginia Plan was used, to ensure that there was a proper ratio of representatives to the current population.

- preoperational: 24 months - age 7

WITCHER [35]

<u>Answer: </u>

An anemometer will be used to measure the speed of the wind.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • An anemometer is a simple device used to measure the speed of the wind by most meteorologists. The structure of this device is simple as it has three or sometimes four cups attached using horizontal strips made up of steel to a vertical rod.
  • As the wind blows over the cups, the cups are pushed by the wind making them move. Hence, the vertical rod moves as the wind blows. The revolutions of the vertical rod for a specific time are counted and averaged in order to determine the speed of the wind.
