The correct answer is - faster.

The rates of erosion in the present are faster than what they have been throughout most of the geologic past. The reason for this increase in the speed of the erosion has primarily been attributed to the human activity. The humans tend to destroy lot of vegetation, be it forests, shrub-lands, or grasslands in order to clear up space for their activities and needs. This leads to much higher exposure of the soil to the process of erosion. The reason for that is that the soil is losing its natural protector form the erosion, the plants and their roots, which are holding the soil tightly and also provide cover for it. Once this natural protection is gone, the soil becomes loos, nothing is holding it, so the natural elements are eroding it very easy and quick.

If there is two batteries connected in series, each battery is 6V. What is the EMF of the battery?​
ikadub [295]

Answer:

The EMF of the batteries connect in series in the circuit is 12 V.

Explanation:

Given;

two batteries, each is 6 V

The EMF of the batteries connect in series in the circuit is calculated as sum of the voltage of the two batteries since they are connected in series.

EMF = V₁ + V₂

EMF = 6V + 6V

EMF = 12 V

Therefore, the EMF of the batteries connect in series in the circuit is 12 V.

The _ is continuous movement of water between earth's surface and the air
masya89 [10]
The water cycle or hydrologic cycle is the continuous movement of water between the earth's surface and the air. Water molecules move from the atmosphere (or air) to the earth's surface and back again. Water moves from the atmosphere to the earth's surface via rain, snow, sleet or hail. It moves back to the atmosphere via evaporation. The sun's energy is the catalyst for the movement of water between the atmosphere and the earth's surface.

The world population changed relatively little between the years 1200 and 1400. Which of the following statements about this tim
IRINA_888 [86]
C

Given that the World population changed little between this time, we can gather than the birth and death rates were similar, since they seem to cancel each other out from 1200-1400. To clarify, think of this. If you add something to a total (think births to population), but take away the same number (think deaths from population) you end up with the same total as before. Because of this, A is the correct answer choice (The birth rate and death rate were about equal).

Describe each plate boundary – transform, convergent, divergent. How do the plates move at each of these, what happens, and what
Ierofanga [76]
Transform: The plates slide past each other, one going forwards, the other going back, kind of grinding each other. A Transform Boundary is also a fault, so it causes Earthquakes mostly.
Convergent: When two plates collide with each other. They form subduction mostly and trenches. They can also create volcanoes or volcanic islands.
Divergent: When two boundaries move away from each other. They form rift valleys, mountain ranges
