Wind 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.
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.
Hope this helps! :)

Question 15 (1 point)

Nezavi [6.7K]

The given scenario illustrates An emergent property.

Explanation:

A property that explains about the functioning of any system as a whole is an emergent property. The units of that individual system will not work to give the functionality of the entire system. Fallacy of division occurs when there is a failure in the realization of this emergent property.

For instance let us take an ant colony. Ant as a single organism will not be able to attain certain works. While when they join to form a colony they together can accomplish complex and tedious tasks. Hence, in human body also cells of heart acts as an example of an emergent property as they together can accomplish the function.
