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.

During the day, land heats faster than water, causing pressure to form over land and pressure over coastal water. A) neither is
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The answer to be filled in the given blank is

option B) low, high

Explanation:

Therefore, during the daytime, heating of land is faster as compared to water which causes <u>low</u> pressure to form over land and <u>high</u> pressure over coastal areas.

This is because the heat capacity of water is more as compared to land, i.e., water takes longer time to vary its temperature than land. Thus land gets heated faster as compared to water.

Therefore, movement of warm air above the land reduces pressure over land and increases pressure over sea.
