Answer:

Whirlwind

Explanation:

A whirlwind is a meteorological phenomenon that implies an accelerated rotation of the wind vertically, forming a whirlpool. The generation of this phenomenon occurs when, in two sectors of a mass of air that travels, there is a difference in speed, which leads to turbulence.

The air, when hitting the ground and encountering different obstacles, begins to form a whirlpool. The rotation of the whirlwind takes place at high speeds, something that partly explains its violence as it passes through the surface of the Earth. In addition, it usually presents a certain stability; This can be seen in the numerous captures that scholars have made over the decades, but also in fiction works in which they appear as cones that destroy everything in their path.

When a whirlwind rubs the ground, or when certain objects disturb it, the creation of several small eddies occurs, even of a diameter much smaller than the meter. These small whirlpools are easy to see on dirt floors, since the dust begins to be part of its body and evidences its rotational movement and the presence of an axial zone without sufficient force to move the solid particles.

When sea ice forms in the ocean, the salinity of the surrounding ocean water
Oxana [17]
This process is known as thermohaline circulation. In the Earth's polar regions ocean water gets very cold, forming sea ice. As a consequence the surrounding seawater gets saltier, because when sea ice forms, the salt is left behind. As the seawater gets saltier, its density increases, and it starts to sink.

Glaciers have sculpted mountains and carved out valleys but no longer flow and shape of the landscape today. true or false
kvasek [131]

The correct answer is - false.

Glaciers have sculpted mountains, carved out valleys, made lots of glacial relief structures, and created thousands of glacial lakes over the past, but this process continues nowadays too. Even though in the present we only have glaciers at limited small parts of the planet, they are still active, and are doing their job in the formation of glacial relief forms. Lots of people tend to thing that the glaciers were only doing this in the past, but this is because they are very rare nowadays, and are shadowed by the more dominant factors in an inter-glacial period like we have at the moment.
