Answer:

A higher temperature gradient causes faster heat transfer, and thus faster convection currents. If the core were cooler, the temperature gradient would be lower, so the convection currents would likely slow down.

Answer:

Convection currents in the Earth's core are caused by hot magma rising upwards, cooling, then sinking back toward the core. These convection currents are the driving force for tectonic plate movement in the crust. The constantly moving magma in the mantle carries the plates sitting on top of it. The hotter the magma, the faster the speed of its convection currents.

If the interior of the Earth were to cooler, then the movement of the plates would decrease.

What is erosion? How is erosion different than weathering? What are the different types of water erosion? What factors contribut
BARSIC [14]

#1 is a natural process of the minerals and things in rock is not destroyed but rather moved.

#2 weathering breaks down the material while erosion just moves it.

#3 <em><u>gully,rill, and sheet</u></em>

#4 climatic characteristics( rainfall,wind and atmosphere"temp")

#5 they are effected bye temp ans perspiration(rain) there will be more flooding for a mid temp and rainy area while a dry and hot area will have more rocky areas

#6 wet areas will erode away and have less land to use and the dry areas will have nutrient low sand and more rocks then actual dirt

#7 it makes the soil loose the nutrient s and casue tons fo farmland to loose a good quality of use.

#8 farm land wont produce as much cause there is nothing to fuel the plant growth.

#9 farmers and humans will need to move around more and tear down more natural land to find suitable soil or else there will be famine all over

#10 since farmers have to till massive amounts of tops soil in order to be able to use the land it cause erosion from the wind rain etc. causing land to fail cause mudslides etc. then famine start setting in cause there would be now more suitable land for farming cause farmers would move around and use up all the land.


i hope these are right if one is wrong then put in comments

Rip currents are caused by
ikadub [295]
Rip currents are mainly caused when the sea is rough and large waves break into the shore. the water from the previous large wave tries to find a weak spot in the incoming wave and when it finds it, the water quickly pulls away from the shore causing dangerous rip currents. This type of currents have caused numerous deaths.
