Answer:

These rocks were part of the oceanic trench.

Explanation:

  • The Vishnu schist is a part of the Vishu complex of exposed basement rocks and is originally part of the deep ocean trench and was substantially overloaded by the sediments of the Brahma schist some 1.75 billion years ago.
  • Being metamorphic in nature the oldest rocks of the canyon have granite and suggest they have been subjected to intense heat and pressure.

What is Weathering? <br> What is erosion?<br> What is deposition?
Irina18 [472]

hello there

Explanation:

Weathering is when rock (generally) or material is worn away via the Earth's atmosphere, the sun, water, or other natural elements. This is considered destructive.

Erosion is when water (usually rivers or rain) carries rock away from its original place or recently deposited position. This is considered destructive.

Deposition is when the rock that has been eroded away is deposited into a new place. This is considered contructive.

There are some important parameters in such situations that need to be investigated. Things such as the speed of the phenomenon, the risks associated with it and the affected communities/sites are important.

A) The first choice regards the speed of the rising as well as the inherent risk in that, so it is TRUE.
B) The second choice is rather irrelevant to the problem of flooding; the temperature of the water is a parameter that does not affect the flooding, the risk etc. So it is FALSE.
C) Tourism is an important consideration but the first consideration should be the health of people and inquiring about tourism does not help avoid a natural disaster. So it is FALSE.
D) The rate of the rise is important to know for future planning and in order to help with current models. So it is TRUE.
E) The affected towns are an important parameter in minimizing the impact of a natural disaster and hence it is helpful. So it is TRUE.
