Q1: Erosion and weathering are often confused. How is erosion different from weathering? Give an example of each.
stepan [7]

Explanation:

1.

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils whereas erosion is the movement of weathered materials from one area to the other.

Erosion moves weathered materials and it causes them to change position. For example loose chips of rocks broken down as the rock weakens through alternate wetting and drying in tropical regions will remain in-situ until the agents of erosion comes to carry them away. The breaking is weathering and the carrying is erosion.

2.

Examples of mechanical weathering:

  •   Frost action
  •   Pressure release

Examples of chemical weathering:

  • Oxidation
  • Carbonation

There are two types of weathering:

  • In mechanical weathering, a rock disintegrates into smaller chunks by the action of wind, water and glacier. For example in temperate and polar regions, water within rocks freezes. When water freezes it expands and causes tension within the rock. When temperature drops, water melts and the tension is relieved. This process causes a rock to crack. The crack will eventually become wider with time.
  • In chemical weathering, a rock decomposes by the action of chemicals formed in the rock. In karst regions where limestone forms, combination of rain water and carbon dioxide forms weak carbonic acid that reacts with calcite in limestone.

Write a<br> paragraph or two on electromagnetism.
patriot [66]

Answer:

Electromagnetism is the study of the electromagnetic force, one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It includes the electric force, which pushes all charged particles, and the magnetic force, which only pushes moving charges.It is used in many electrical appliances to generate desired magnetic fields. It is even used in a electric generator to produce magnetic fields for electromagnetic induction to occur.

Properties of iron, barium, and phosphorus. Explain why nails are made of iron but they are never made of barium or phosphorus.
bearhunter [10]

Nails are made up of iron not of phosphorus and barium.  

As both phosphorous and barium are relatively weaker than iron ,phosphorus breaks easily and barium is also fairly weak. Iron nails are already also not that strong, but their weight and strength are sufficient.  

So the nails are made up of iron.

How does a wave get taller as
Anarel [89]

The reason why a wave get taller as it gets closer to shore is that the shallow water at the bottom of the wave makes the wave length smaller. Option B

<h3>What is a wave?</h3>

A wave is a disturbance that occurs along a medium which transmits energy. Now we now that waves travel from place to place. The horizontal distance that is travelled by a wave is what we call the wavelength of the wave.

As the wave approaches the shore, the wave tends to slow down because it is dragged from beneath. In the process, the wave grows taller. Thus, the reason why a wave get taller as it gets closer to shore is that the shallow water at the bottom of the wave makes the wave length smaller. Option B
