Chemical weathering in bedrock below the land surface often begins along joints and sheeting fractures. True False

Biology
1 answer:
gregori [183]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Chemical weathering usually refers to the process in which the water comprising various chemicals reacts on the rocks and disintegrates them. The chemical weathering process occurs both at and below the surface of the land. At various depths, the rocks are comprised of cracks and fractures, which are filled up with water comprising the chemicals. This water reaching these joints and fractures are percolated from the surface. These chemicals comprising water start reacting with the rocks and eventually expands the cracks and joints.

For example, in the region where there is abundant carbonate rocks, these chemical comprising water (such as acid water) when enters, it reacts with the rocks and dissolves them, and thereby give rise to the formation of caves and sinkholes.

Thus, the above-given statement is true.

Answer:

By researching, I would think that the answer is D. Ice crystals melt as they fall through a warm layer of air and then refreeze into small ice pellets as they pass through a colder layer of air.

Explanation:

<em>During precipitation formation, if temperatures are at or below freezing, 0°C (32°F), at cloud level, water in the air freezes into ice crystals, and the crystals stick together to make snow. The snow starts to fall, and if the air column is freezing cold all the way down from the clouds to the ground, the precipitation stays frozen. It simply falls as snow.</em>

<em />

<em>Sometimes, however, a temperature inversion occurs. Normally, the temperature decreases with increasing altitude. A temperature inversion is when a layer of warm air intrudes between the ground and the clouds.</em>

<em />

<em>Under these conditions, when the falling snow reaches the layer of warm air, it melts. Then it hits the layer of cold air just above Earth’s surface and refreezes. This all happens very fast, and the result is tiny ice pellets called sleet.</em>

Distinguish the various types of landforms formed by wind and how these landforms are created
svp [43]

One type of landform formed by wind would be sanddunes. This is the only landform I can think of formed by wind. The wind blows the sand along so that it builds up into a dune perhaps when it hits an obstacle like a small rocky spur and whole deserts can be converted into dunes.
