What are the types of erosion and definition

Geography

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

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.

One way to increase nonrenewable resources is through
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Conservation

Explanation:

One important way to increase non-renewable resources is by conserving them.

  • Non-renewable resources are resources which cannot be replenished at the current rate of their usage.
  • In short, they become depleted with with usage
  • When resources are conserved, they are strategically used.
  • This ensures that time is given for them get replenished in the ecosystem.

Examples of non-renewable resources that must be conserved are metallic ores and fossil fuels.

Also, it must be noted that when resources are recycled, it reduces the dependence on the natural resources.

In a reverse fault, where does the hanging wall move relative to the footwall?
goldfiish [28.3K]

The answer is;

The hanging wall rises above the footwall. This type of fault occurs due to compression tectonic movement that squishes the two crusts. This way the faulted section of rock shortens. This is the opposite of normal faults where the hanging wall falls below the footwall. This is due to extension tectonic movements that lengthen the faulted section.

Describe four expected impacts of global warming.
yawa3891 [41]

Many impacts can be  brought by global warming, here I would introduce two impact each on the aspect on ecosystem and agriculture.

On ecosystem:

1. Shift in distribution of plants:

The changes in climate brought by global warming will alter the natural distribution limits for vegetation. For example, forests are moving north into the ;and that was once Arctic tundra, while the growing season increased in northern high latitudes.

2. Extinction or endangerment of species

Species may not be able to cope with climate change unlike human, hence intolerance of the increasing temperature may led to the extinction of spices. For example, coral reef cannot survive under temperature over 30 degree Celsius hence facing the danger of extinction.

On agriculture:

3.Farm production lowered

A warmer climate would lead to a loss of soil moisture hence increasing the erosion rate, and the dry soil will lower the land productivity as crops cannot grow on these barren land, especially water thirsty crops such as rice.

4.Farm production destroyed

Pests may become more active given the shorter and warmer winter, while floods may be present more often given the rapidly rising sea level and the instability of the climate.

Hope it helps!
