Which formation moves sediment and erodes rock?
gogolik [260]

The correct answers are:

<em>C) glaciers;</em>

<em>D) rivers;</em>

The glaciers, with their massiveness, sheer force and weight, are able to break down both, big and small parts of the rocks, thus eroding them. Considering that the glaciers are also moving, though slowly, they are transporting the eroded material over shorter or longer distance, depending on the length of the glacier itself.

The rivers, with their force and also with their chemical composition, manage to erode the rocks little by little, and than transport the eroded sediment. The transportation distance depends on the length of the river, as well as its speed.

Briefly explain how variations in water density can cause horizontal convection currents in sea water.
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Convection currents flow due to variations in the temperature and salinity in seawater, both of which influence its density. Variations in density in different regions of the ocean will cause water to flow from less dense areas to more dense areas as water heats up and becomes less saline, producing a horizontal convection current. Vertical convection currents can arise as cooler, more saline water sinks, causing warmer, less saline water to rise.
