Compare how Wind and Glaciers abrade rock

Wind<span> abrades rock by sandblasting, this is the process in which wind causes the blowing of millions of grains of sand, which bumps across the surface of rocks' surface. it can also happen due to deflation, which is when wind removes the top layer of fine sediment/soil to cause desert pavement.
</span>Glaciers, however, abrade rock by simply using Gravity. when enough ice builds up on a slope, the ice begins to move downhill. The steeper the slope, the faster the glacier. As glaciers move forwad, the material that they picked up scratch and abrade the rock and soil underneath the glacier, which causes erosion<span>.
</span>Hope this helps! :)

If intrapulmonary pressure was 760 mm hg, what would you expect the intrapleural pressure to be?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

756 mm Hg

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Intrapleural pressure is the pressure of the air within the pleural cavity, between the visceral and parietal pleurae. This pressure changes during different phases of breathing.

<em><u>Due to certain characteristics of the lungs, the intrapleural pressure is always lower than, or negative to, the intra-alveolar pressure. It remains approximately –4 mm Hg throughout the breathing cycle.</u></em>

<em><u>Therefore; if the intrapulmonary pressure was 760 mm hg then the intrapleural pressure will be (760 -4) mm Hg, that is 756 mm Hg</u></em>
