Answer:

The answer is b (destructive)

Explanation:

There are 2 types of destructive forces that wear away mountains and other features:

  • Slow forces

The 2 main destructive forces that wear down mountains and land features of the earth slowly and steadily are weathering and erosion. Weathering is the breaking down of rocks due to forces such as wind and water. The pieces of rock are then moved elsewhere through the process of erosion. The classic examples of weathering and erosion are The Grand Canyon and Monument Valley in Arizona.  

  • Quick forces

Quick destructive forces are earthquake and tsunami that can eliminate the features of our Earth in minutes or even in seconds. Tsunami can smooth the Earth surface and erase hills and mountains. A tsunami can take hundreds of km of Earth and drag it back to the ocean floor. Earthquake can cause the Earth to crack, causing sinkholes. Quick destructive force can also be a landslide. Mountain sides can move to the base of a mountain in seconds.

The answer is destructive force. 
Constructive force is the force that makes or forms the mountains and other features. Superposition forces are topics to be discussed in theories in <span>physics and systems and may not be applicable here. Unnatural is just an unusual choice. </span>

Explain how an igneous rock like granite changes into a sandstone?
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Granite changes into sandstone by means of weathering and erosion. Through the passage of time, fragments of granite are broken down into smaller pieces, or sediments, which are transported and deposited at the bottom of the oceans or rivers. These particles form layers of sand and pebbles that undergo compaction and cementation to create sandstone.

Are there going to be glaciers in the future please answer asap​
antiseptic1488 [7]
There won’t be most likely. Many glaciers are already melting at a fast pace already. They aren’t being formed either just melting. They’re shrinking significantly and will probably be gone soon because of climate change. Even glaciers that have been around for millions of years a melting away. :(
