Answer:
Erosion refers to the displacement of the solids through wind, water and ice. Weathering refers to the decomposition of the rocks, soil and minerals through direct contact with the atmosphere. The eroded materials are displaced in the case of erosion. The weathered materials are not displaced in the case of weathering
Answer:
<u>Geocentric Model</u>: - this model is Earth Centered
-Retrograde motion is explained by epicycles
<u>Heliocentric Model</u>: - This model is Sun Centered
-Retrograde motion is explained by the orbital speeds of planets
<u>Both models</u>:- Epicycles and deferents help explain planetary motion
-Planets move in circular orbits and with uniform motion
-The brightness of a planet increases when the planet is closest to Earth
Explanation:
Retrograde motion is an apparent change in the movement of the planet through the sky. Ptolemy's model of the solar systems was geocentric, where the Sun, Moon, planets and start all orbit the Earth in perfectly circular orbits. However this perfectly circular orbits around the Earth did not explain the occasional retrograde motion of the planets. In the Copernicus' heliocentric model, retrograde motion of planets is naturally explained. The explanation for retrograde motion in a heliocentric model is that retrograde occurs roughly when a faster moving planet catches up to and passes a slower moving planet.
Answer:
landscape or landform with flat top.
Explanation:
- A desert is a barren landscape that consists of very little rainfall. Lack of vegetation and unprotected surface makes the soil weak and prone to erosion. They cover one-third of the surface of the earth and have a semi-arid type of climate.
- A plateau consists of a flat elevated landform that rises sharply above the surrounding area. Soft rocks are often eroded at the top of a plateau. The caprocks protect its surface from erosion.
Hey there!!
<span>Winds distribute heat and moisture around the earth. Winds can bring in cold fronts or warm fronts.
