Answer:

Erosion

Explanation:

At first the fence posts were straight up, but over time that became tilted. The reason fro this is erosion. The erosion managed to remove part of the ground in whist he fence posts have been placed, thus their basis has been weakened, and they have tilted. If the process continues they will soon fall on the ground. Deposition has occurred for sure somewhere, but from this information it is not clear where. There has not been deposition on one side and erosion on other as the fence posts would have been standing straight if that happened. The deposition always occurs as a result of the erosion, but the material can be deposited anywhere from few cm away to several thousands of km away., depending on the transferring medium.

nata0808 [166]
The correct option is this: THE FLOODING OF LAND CLEARED TO GROW CROPS. The correct option is D.
All the processes listed in the options above are affected in the negative way  by agricultural practices. Cultural eutrophication occurs when all the living organisms in a body of water die as a result of pollution.This can be caused by fertilizer run offs. The recharging of underground water is negatively affected by agricultural practices, fertile lands also become desserts and sediment pollution from erosion occur from agricultural practices.

Examine the five words and/or phrases and determine the relationship among the majority of words/phrases. Choose the one option
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Abyssal Hill

Explanation:

The given words/phrases are directly related to the seafloor spreading process.

In the case of divergent plate motion, plates move in the opposite direction. Due to this, the thickness of the lithosphere decrease and with the increasing time, it results in the eruption of magma at the seafloor. In the ocean basin, these magmas erupt along the mid-oceanic ridge, and in the continental areas, it leads to the formation of a rift and later forms a rift valley.

Some of the segments of the mid-oceanic ridge in the oceans are quite gentle with no roughness along the slope and some segments are steep and rough. It occurs because of the differences in the spreading rate, and this is commonly known as oceanic rise. The rocks that are formed at the mid-oceanic ridge are the youngest of all other rocks.

The odd one here is the abyssal hill, which is formed generally at the seafloor. When the areas at the abyssal plains are comprised of large deposits of sediments forming a hill, then it is called an abyssal hill. It is not related to the seafloor spreading. It is simply a feature of the ocean floor.
