Answer: If water is the transport medium of sediment, the grain size sedimentary deposits most closely indicates:
(B) average velocity of the water from the time of erosion until deposition.
Explanation: Here, the average velocity of the water determines the sorting of the grain size.
If the average velocity is high like that of the beach, the grain size will be well sorted.
But if the average velocity is low like that of a stream, it would be poorly sorted.
Answer:
Normal fault
Explanation:
Tensional stress occurs as a result of forces which could be wind, water etc pulling the rocks apart and forming faults. Faults are also known as a type of fracture which occurs between rocks.
Tensional stress along a fault can result in a dropped hanging-wall block relative to the footwall side(in a perpendicular position) thereby producing a normal fault.
Natural elements typically erode ancient ( and all ) buildings and structures overtime. That and an increasing amount of tourist attraction also doesn’t help the decaying... well everything. An article from the guardian supports this and even says that last year the EU threatened to remove the funding of the Great Pompeii Project which conserves and restores this ancient site.
The Mississippi-Missouri-Ohio river system is the largest and most significant river system in the world.
