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.

Consider a wetland ecosystem similar to the one shown in the image below. In this ecosystem are two species: a small fish specie
harina [27]

If the local temperature changes in favor of greater oxygen levels in the water, the population of the small fish species and the wading bird population would be changed and affected NEGATIVELY in response to the newly elevated oxygen levels over the next six months.

High levels of oxygen over an extended period of time would cause the fish to eventually become sick and to die. This would leave the wading bird species without nourishment for life and energy reproduction leading to the depletion of the bird species along with the small fish species.

A post-modern approach to defining social justice is distinct from a modern approach in that
alexandr402 [8]

The answer is: it does not tell us exactly what a just society would look like and that it treats justice more as a process than as a goal.

This happen because Post-modern approach sees that what considered to be a justice by a certain group of people might not necessarily seen as so by the other group of people.

Because of this, they treat justice as a process, in which people made the effort to compromise with each other regardless of our difference/
