Examples:
1. Caves

Caves are carved out over thousands of years by flowing water, but that activity can be sped up by carbonic acid present in the water. As fresh water leeches through the rock and soil and drips through cracks, it gathers calcium carbide from the rock. When this water moves through a rock, the resulting carbonic acid erodes the rock until over time, a cave formation occurs.

2. River Banks

The banks of creeks and rivers erode over time as the water moves past it, carrying away sediment and depositing it elsewhere. The Colorado River, which flows through the Grand Canyon, drops as much as an estimated 100,000 cubic yards of sediment in Lake Powell each year. This type of soil erosion often comes as a result of water moving past the banks or walls of a river bed. Also, rocks in the river itself can be worn down and smoothed due to the constant rolling or "tumbling" motion the moving water causes.

3. Cracks in Rocks

Through a process known as exfoliation, rocks can erode due to nothing more powerful than energy from the sun. When rocks are heated quickly by the sun, the rock expands quickly. This rapid expansion can cause small cracks to form, cracks which make the rock vulnerable to wind and water erosion.

Reflexión sobre los cambios que deben experimentar los partidos políticos para lograr la credibilidad ante los ciudadanos
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Los partidos políticos, con el fin de lograr o recuperar la credibilidad ante los ciudadanos, deben llevar a cabo tres importantes medidas:

  • Hacer promesas creíbles: a pesar de que muchos piensan lo contrario, los ciudadanos suelen reconocer cuando están siendo engañados y les están prometiendo cosas imposibles de llevar a cabo, por esta razón, es importante, que los partidos políticos solo prometan cosas que realmente pueden llevar a la práctica.
  • Cumplir en la medida de lo posible esas promesas: una vez el partido político accede al poder, este debe hacer todo lo posible por cumplir las promesas de campaña. Sino lo hacen, los votantes se sentirán defraudados y la credibilidad del partido disminuirá.
  • Estar conformado por personas competentes que no sean corruptas: si los miembros del partido no están capacitados, no harán su trabajo bien, y el partido perderá credibilidad. Y sobra decir que un escándalo de corrupción es quizás lo que más reduce la credibilidad de un partido frente a sus votantes.

Which of the following statements is correct?
omeli [17]

Answer:

A. According to Guthrie, reinforcement changes the stimulating conditions and thereby prevents unlearning.

Explanation:

Guthrie trusted in one-trial learning. For him, reinforcement offers a via for the change of the stimulus context, making movement necessary, and learning progresses inside the limits of the behavioral act. Also, he understood that forgetting is an impediment resulting from new associations instead of a decrease of stimuli.
