Answer:

Freeeze-thaw weathering

Explanation:

Freeze- thaw weathering involves the breakdown of rock particles into smaller fragments through continuous fluctuations in the temperature of the water bodies. This form of weathering is common along coastlines. The water enters the rocks and then freezes when there is a decrease in temperature. The freezing expands the rock particles and aids frictions between the rock parts. This helps in the breakdown of the rocks to smaller particles.

It involves temperatures fluctuating around 0°C and is the dominant mechanical weathering process on coastlines

How are spring and neap tides different from regular tides? Check all that apply.
Svet_ta [14]
<h2>Answer: They are extra-high tides and extra-low tides.</h2>

Explanation:

Tides are periodic movements of the great masses of water on our planet as part of the gravitational attraction exerted by the moon and the sun on Earth.  

In this sense, there are two very special cases:  The Spring and Neap tides.

<u>Spring tides  </u>

Occur when there is a full moon or new moon, which makes the <u>tides higher.</u> During these lunar phases, the Moon, the Earth and the Sun are aligned and the gravitational attraction power is greater.  

<u>Neap tides  </u>

Occur when the moon, the earth and the sun form a right angle (90\º), being the gravity attraction on the masses of water the minimum. This happens in the crescent and wanning phases.
