Answer:

<u>c. numerous collisions between particles during extensive transportation</u>.

Explanation:

  • A clast is a smaller grain of the rock broken off by the other rocks occurring by the physical weathering or whether in suspension as a bedload and occurs in sediment deposits.
  • The angular grains that formed due to the erosion of clastic rocks that form part of the sedimentary rocks are an effect of the mineralogical components of the rocks that make up the blogs of the silicate particles that are derived from the weathering of the older rocks namely as in the form of Conglomerates and breccias, Sandstones, and the Mudrocks.
  • Thus there are changes in the composition, and texture of the rocks surfaces and an example of a clastic environment could be a river system where the full range of grains are being transported by the moving water consist of eroded particles from solid rock upstream.

Briefly describe how buoyancy, isostatic equilibrium, and epeirogenic processes are related.

<h2><u>Relation between buoyancy, isostatic equilibrium, and epeirogenic processes</u></h2>

                   Buoyant force or buoyancy, is the force exerted in an object which is fully or partially occupied in a fluid. Isostatic equilibrium is the gravitational equilibrium between earth's crust and underlying mantle. while epeirogenic process is the depression of land having long wavelengths.

Both epeirogenic process and  isostatic equilibrium uses the principle of buoyancy. The crust of the Earth or the lithosphere floats over underlying mantle at an elevation depending upon its density and thickness.

Glaciers shaped the landscape is the answer. Actually, in Nova Scotia near Halifax there is a glacial boulder or erratic of basalt which is deemed to come from about 130km away perhaps from the north or NW. Also, there are glacial striations there on the bedrock which can be used to determine the sense of the direction of flow of the ice. In New England, there are pro-glacial lakes. Both the Maritimes and New England were most likely covered by the Laurentide continental glaciation.

Identify four areas on earth where hot spot volcanoes exist
earnstyle [38]
I'm not so good at science but I believe just from the Internet and common sense that it could be found in Hawaii, Yellowstone, Iceland, and (not completely sure for last one) but maybe Pompeii. I know the first 3 are most likely correct but I'm not completely sure about Pompeii. Just look it up, lol
