<span>The region in which earthen debris resides also influences patterns and degrees of weathering. Rocks and soil in dry, warm tropical climates experiencing heavy rainfall and higher temperatures wear differently than the same materials in cold and dry climates. A higher temperature and longer exposure to humidity, such as is experienced in tropical conditions, makes rocks fade much more quickly than rocks of the same variety in colder regions. Abundant rain leads to the rapid wearing of rock surfaces; this type of wear classifies as chemical weathering. In regions prone to chemical weathering, which are areas in tropical regions and areas with mild year-round temperatures, chemical weathering presides. This type of weathering produces gradual yet noticeable changes in the surrounding landscape, too. These areas have undulating terrains with sloping hills and thicker, richer soils than northern climates. Physical weathering dominates in colder climates; these landscapes have sharper, more rugged features and thin soils.</span>

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.

What are some interesting facts about the geosphere
yanalaym [24]
Here are some 5 facts I find interesting

-Some people use the term lithosphere to describe the geosphere. Depending on the definition of geosphere (which is debated by scientists), lithosphere can mean the same thing.

-The geosphere includes everything that looks like solid ground, including the ocean floors, sand in the deserts, rocks, mountains and every bit of land or formation on the continents.

-Aristotle, the Greek philosopher who lived from 384 - 322 BC, considered the geosphere to include the motion of earth, water, fire, and air

-There are eight major tectonic plates making up the earth's geosphere. They are constantly moving, but usually only a few centimeters each year,

-Scientific study related to the earth's geosphere can be broken down into specific disciplines including those covered in geology, geography, geochemistry, geomorphology, geophysics, glaciology, mineralogy, petrology, and volcanology.
