A geologic event causes changes to the physical makeup of a particular place and occurs slowly.
Geological events are what causes numerous changes and phenomena on the Earth's surface. Examples of these events include cliff erosion, volcanic eruption, or sedimentation at a mouth of a river.
Geological processes are extremely slow. However, because of the immense lengths of time involved, huge physical changes do occur - mountains are created and destroyed, continents form, break up and move over the surface of the Earth, coastlines change and rivers and glaciers erode huge valleys.
Geological events are both classified as internal and external. This means that these events occur both in the Earth's surface and interior.
Answer:
Explanation:
Power is related to energy by the following relationship:
where
P is the power used
E is the energy used
t is the time elapsed
In this problem, we know that
- the power of the fan is P = 120 W
- the fan has been running for one hour, which corresponds to a time of
So we can re-arrange the previous equation to find E, the energy (in the form of thermal energy) released by the fan:
Answer: The elimination of seasonal variations
Explanation:
Since the cosmic catastrophic event which occurred led to the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of orbit to increase from 23.5° to 90°, the most obvious effect of this change would be the elimination of seasonal variations.
It should be noted that seasonal variation refers to the variation in a time series that's within a year which is repeated. The cause of seasonal variation can include rainfall, temperature, etc.
