That would just be called Weathering and Erosion. Erosion happens when rocks and sediments are picked up and moved to another place by ice, water, wind or gravity. Mechanical weathering physically breaks up rock. One example is called frost action or frost shattering. Water gets into cracks and joints in bedrock.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The orbit of the Earth

Explanation:

It is widely speculated that orbital mechanics were responsible for the period of lushness that the Sahara desert and Northern Africa lived only 6000 years ago. Due to the changes in the Earth's orbit around the Sun, it is thought that the monsoon effect (season variations in wind patterns that produce a heavy rainy season) was more pronounced across the northern latitudes and resulted in the Sahara being much wetter than it is today.

Explanation:

Some countries, especially China, India, have practiced female infanticide due to the fact that they regard males as superior. As for China an addition factor might have been the one child rule applied for a long time although this law has been relaxed in the last few years and you can now have 2 children.

India has cause to fret. According to two demographers, John Bongaarts and Christophe Guilmoto, a staggering 45m girls and women are missing from the country. Some were never born, having been detected by ultrasound scans and aborted. Others died young as a result of being neglected more than boys. Some villages in the north have an alarming surplus of boys and young men. Yet attitudes and behaviour are changing. In India, and in the world as a whole, the war on baby girls seems to be winding down.
