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.

How hove volcanoes played a role in the formation of land above or below the water?
cluponka [151]
Volcanoes play an important role in creating land since they are the sources of magma, which once above ground normally cools to create new land. In the ocean, this land normally forms at divergent and convergent boundaries or hot spots. At divergent boundaries (where two plates move apart), magma constantly erupts along a trench deep below the ocean's surface. This magma rarely piles upward and instead is pushed to both sides of the trench. This is how new seafloor forms. Convergent boundaries can create island arcs like Indonesia as magma erupts bit by bit. Hot spots occur in the middle of plates. They are instances where the mantle pierces through the crust and begins to erupt directly onto to seafloor. Over time, these eruptions will pile up and create underwater volcanoes until they potentially make it above sea level, thereby forming an island. This is how Hawaii was and continues to be formed.

According to this map which states have a population of fewer than two million residents
Ratling [72]

Explanation:The correct answers are:

- Wyoming; 579,315

- Idaho; 1.717 million

- New Hampshire; 1.343 million

There are not many states in the United States of America that have populations that are bellow 2 million, and it is kind of strange that a state has such a low population. The likes of Wyoming (with 579,315 inhabitants), Idaho (1.717 million inhabitants), and New Hampshire (with 1.343 million inhabitants) are one of the very few that have such low populations on their territory. The reasons are multiple, and some of them are the extremely high standard of living, the bad natural conditions, and the size of the states.
