Ever seen a waterfall ? what do you think happens when all that water slams into the ground below ? same as when you turn a hosepipe on a flowerbed.

also, there's hydraulic cracking where water gets into cracks and freezes, splitting rocks apart.

fast moving water can carry sediment and roll rocks along the bottom. if the water slows down, it drops the rocks and heavier sediment. if it floods a field, say, then drains away, the grass will also filter smaller particles out, or the water might evaporate and leave fine sediment behind.

Water and gravity work together to erode soil, sediment, and rock with the water loosening the dirt around it, allowing gravity to take action by "pushing" the resources down, letting it roll either slowly or quickly down the slope it may be on.

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Periods on the periodic table of elements

Explanation:

In the periodic table of elements, there are seven horizontal rows of elements called periods. The vertical columns of elements are called groups, or families. (See also The Periodic Table: Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids.) In each period (horizontal row), the atomic numbers increase from left to right.

1) The temperature inside my refrigerator is about 40 Celsius. If I place a balloon in my fridge that initially has a temperatur

viva [34]

Answer: The volume of the balloon when it is fully cooled by my refrigerator is 0.3 L

Explanation:

To calculate the final volume of the system, we use the equation given by Charles' Law. This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}$
