Attrition - rocks smashing into each other and breaking down becoming smaller and smoother
Abrasion - rocks that are in the river wearing down the banks and river bed
Solution - soluble particles dissolving
Hydraulic Action - when there are cracks in the banks / cliffs, water can push air into them which creates pressure causing the cracks to get bigger
Hope this is what you wanted and I hope it helps. :)

There are four types of erosion: Attrition, Abrasion, Solution and Hydraulic action.
Hydraulic action- the force of water that wears away the river bank from underneath.
Attrition- rocks being carried by the river smash together and break into smaller pieces. Over time, they become smaller and are reduced into fine particles called slit.
Abrasion- stones that are carried by the river bump into the river bank and wear them away.
Solution- acids in the water slowly dissolve the river banks and the stones- especially limestone- that the river is carrying.

Suggest one way microfinance loans can help to reduce the development gap?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Debt relief is when debts are either reorganised to make them more manageable, or reduced. Microfinance loans are when money is lent to LICs to help them to develop. These are often small loans with reasonable interest rates. They are available to people and businesses who may normally struggle to get credit.

Suppose that two stars in a binary star system are separated by a distance of 80 million kilometers and are located at a distanc
jonny [76]

Answer: 1) Angular separation equals 0.0000031 degrees

2) Angular separation in arc -seconds equals 0.011156"

Explanation:

For 2 stars separated by a distance 'S' and at a distance 'D' from the earth the angular separation in radians is given

\theta _{rad}=\frac{S}{D}

Applying values we get

\theta _{rad}=\frac{80\times 10^{6}}{150\times 9.46\times 10^{12}}\\\\\therefore \theta _{rad}=\frac{1}{18487500}radians

Now we know that 'π' radians equals 180 degrees thus the above value in degrees shall be equal to

\therefore \theta _{degrees}=\frac{1}{18487500\times \pi }\times 180^{o}=0.0000031^{o}

2)

The angular separation in arc- seconds is given by

\theta ''=\theta ^{o}\times 3600\\\\\theta'' = 0.0000031\times 3600=0.011156"
