Answer:

mechanical weathering

Explanation:

As a definition, mechanical weathering is the disintegration and decomposition of rocks on or on the earth's surface produced by different atmospheric, climatic and biological agents.

Weathering is a permanent process in nature.

It is also defined as a static process by which the rock breaks into small fragments, dissolving and decomposing to form new minerals. This is the way in which the removal and transport of detritus then results in erosion. It follows that weathering, by reducing the consistency of the stone masses leads to the erosion process.

The causative agents of the weathering of the stones, (external geological agents) can be physical (mechanical), chemical and biological.

The horizontal distance between a crest to the next trough of an ocean wave is 5 meters.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

10 meters

Explanation:

A wave is a natural phenomenon that travels through a material medium but does not have a permanent effect on the particles of the medium. It can either be electromagnetic or mechanical. The propagation of a wave can be represented by a sinusoidal graph, which has crests and troughs.

A crest is the point of maximum displacement, while trough is a point of minimum displacement. The distance between two crests or troughs gives the wavelength of the wave.

From the question, the horizontal distance between a crest to the next trough is 5 meters which is half of the wavelength.

Thus wavelength = 5 × 2

                             = 10

The wavelength is 10 meters.

Why does an increase in carbon dioxide or methane result in more energy being absorbed by Earth's surface and an increase in Ear
dalvyx [7]

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide and methane are called greenhouse gases. The property of greenhouse gases is they they heat energy in them and does not let it escape.

Both Carbon dioxide and methane when present in atmosphere, absorb heat from sun and heat which would is reflected from the Earth's surface. With increase in fuel consumption release of these gases has grown tremandously. Thus, with increase in Carbon dioxide and methane more and more heat is being trapped in the atmosphere and therefore, the Earth's average is rising decade after decade.
