Reptile [31]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The wholesale removal of sediment by wind is called </em><u><em>deflation</em></u><em>.</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Deflation is the phenomenon of displacement of small particles, seeds and other finer grains by wind. The materials which are carried and deposited are called the sediment.

In areas where deflation occurs, only big rocks are visible. The only fine particles of materials are hidden by these big rocks.

Desert pavements are the result of deflation. Desert pavements consist of big rocks and other solid fragments since smaller fragments have been eroded in deflation. The fragments left behind remain consistent hence, desert pavements remain stable over time.

B. What ultimately fuels the water cycle? (4 points)
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The sun

Explanation:

The sun drives the water cycle. The sun evaporates water from the oceans, seas, lakes and other bodies of water and also from plants through the process of transpiration. The evaporated water then forms into clouds and when it gains enough mass it falls back to Earth. This is a closed system so that means that this is the same amount of water that has always been present on Earth.
