Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

A geyser is a geological feature that is commonly formed in a volcanically active region, where the hot water erupts periodically through the fissures and vents on the surface of the earth. The water in this region is heated up as it comes in contact with the hot rocks. Moreover, the geothermal gradient also facilitates the warming up of the water. This water then rises upward due to its lesser density through the porous cracks and fissures and thereby erupts on the surface.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

physically breaks rocks into smaller pieces. __________ changes the surface of rocks into new substances
Neko [114]

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.

MissTica

The correct answer is - Tethys Ocean.

The Tethys Ocean was an ocean that was situated between the European and African continents, through what is now the Middle East and parts of Central Asia, and the northern half of the Indian Ocean. Because of the geologic activities, mainly the movement of the Indian plate towards Asia, and the Alpine orogenesis, the ocean was becoming smaller and smaller, and it started to be divided into smaller pieces, until it totally disappeared. One of the remains of this ocean is the largest lake in the world, the Caspian Lake, often referred to as Caspian Sea, and it can easily be seen that this body of water was once part of a much bigger body of water with saline water, because it itself has saline waters.
