Answer:
The tides are controlled by the Moon's gravitational pull.
Explanation:
An ocean motion that is controlled by the Moon's gravitational pull is the tides. The tides occur because the Moon manages to pull the water on Earth's surface toward it, so the water level gets higher on the side of Earth that's facing the Moon and on the opposite side. The water on the sides of Earth doesn't get pulled, but because the water is pulled toward the other sides, the water there retracts and the water level drops.
The tides vary in their levels, depending on the intensity of the gravitational pull from the Moon. This results in extremely high tides and extremely low tides in some parts of the month, or in very small high and low tides in other parts of the month. The tides have good and bad aspects about them, and humans have tried their best to use the good sides of them in full.
Answer: Clay and quartz
Explanation:Granite is a type of igneous rock that is present for injecting magma into the crust of Earth and then cools down. When weathering process occurs then there is breakage in the rocks at the Earth’s surface into other substances such as sediments, etc.
So, when there is the weathering in the granite the quartz will be same residual minerals because they have a resistance to weathering and biotite will have a hydrolysis process for the formation of clay.
The solidified magma chamber - called a pluton - was then exposed by uplift and erosion of the overlying rock. As the overlying rock eroded, the confining pressure on the pluton was removed and a type of weathering called exfoliation slowly created the more rounded appearance of the dome.
Answer:
- 1. <u> d. hydrolysis </u> chemical reaction involving ions in water (OH⁻ and H⁺ )
- 2. <u> e. oxidation </u>chemical reaction in which minerals are weakened by oxygen
- 3. <u> b. abrasion </u> away or grinding by friction
- 4. <u> a. weathering </u> breakdown and change of rocks and minerals over time
- 5.<u> c. dissolution </u> process of dissolving
Explanation:
<u><em>a. Weathering </em></u>is due to the reaction of rocks and minerals with the air, water and organisms, which cause the rocks and minerals to breakdown and change. This, normally, is a slow process that involves chemical and physical changes.
<u><em>b. Abrasion </em></u>is the wear caused by the friction of the materials.
<u><em>c. Dissolution</em></u> is the process of dissolving a solute in a solvent. For instance, salt in water.
<u><em>d. Hydrolisys</em></u> is the chemical reaction of a substance with water, being the ions H⁺ or OH⁻ from water the agents responsible for the reaction.
<u><em>e. Oxidation</em></u> is the chemical reaction of an element with oxygen. In such reactions, the element transform into a compound that, commonly is weaker than the element. For instance, oxygen oxidates iron producing iron oxide (rust) which is weaker than iron.
