All of the following are caused by water erosion, except:
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: Ultimately, a beach erodes because the supply of sand to the beach can not keep up with the loss of sand to the sea. Most sand is transported from inland via rivers and streams. The damming of most waterways in the US has thus prevented a major supply of sand from getting to our beaches.

Which of the following properties does NOT play a role in trees growing to towering heights by moving water from roots to leaves
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Water absorbing energy in large amounts to increase energy by a degree of temperature

Explanation:

The growth of trees to towering heights has to do with the formation of plant cell walls which are built by the aggregation Glucose molecules to form Cellulose molecules. The cellulose molecules further combines to form microfibrils by forming hydrogen bonding. The microfibrils that combine to make cell walls

Therefore, the growth of a tree is dependent on the formation of hydrogen bonds between water molecules to enable uptake of water into the plants which enable photosynthetic reaction that result in the formation of glucose

The transpiration, which is the conversion of water into vapor or gas at the leaves facilitates the uptake of more water for the formation of more glucose molecules and creation of hydrogen bonds

The hydrogen bonds between chlorophyll molecules is facilitated by forming hydrogen bond with water molecules.
