Answer:

B. Runoff from heavy rainfall forms narrow, shallow channels

Explanation:

The rill erosion occurs at places that are stripped of vegetation, or do not have it naturally. The area in which this erosion occurs also has to be at a certain angle, thus it has to be a slope. When a heavy rainfall occurs, it manages to create runoff. The runoff over-saturates parts of the soil, and starts moving it downwards. As it moves it downwards, narrow, shallow channels are being formed. The water runs through this streamlets, or headcuts, moving the soil down with it, thus causing an extensive erosion of the area.

16. Which process(es) cause(s) thick sediment layers to accumulate along the boundaries of continental
taurus [48]

<u>Answer: </u>

The process of thick sediment layers to "accumulate" along the "boundaries of continental and oceanic plates" is called Subduction.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • During a marine transgression, sea level raises high compared to land level resulting in floods. These are triggered during climate changes, ice-age, isostatic movements.
  • Subduction occurs at the tectonic plates where one plate is moves under another forcing to sink into Earth’s mantle due to the gravitational force.
  • The plates are continental and oceanic in the zone of lithosphere. The rate of subduction is usually seven to 8 centimetres per year.
  • Marine regressions are opposite to transgressions where sea levels fall compared to land levels.
  • Glaciation is the interval of time within an ice-age. The current glacier period is of Holocene.
