Oceanic factors include the pressure gradient, temperature variations and salinity differences. Ex-oceanic factors are atmospheric pressure and winds, evaporation and precipitation. Tides caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun also play role in the forming of oceanic currents.

denis-greek [22]
The Treaty of Waitangi was phrased slightly differently in English and in Maori, and in Maori it sounded like the British were not completely taking over the land, but only governing it and that the Maori would continue to have the ultimate authority over the land.

Item 2Regional erosion occurs at a rate of 2 m per 1,000 years.How much regional erosion will occur over 100,000 years
Fiesta28 [93]

This is almost like a mixture of math and geography. If it erodes 2m per 1,000 years and it is asking for how much does it erode over 100,000 years, you multiply 2m by 100. In this case, it erodes 200m per 100,000 years, and 2m per 1,000 years.
