Answer:

Hydraulic action.

Explanation:

  • The hydraulic action s the capability of the river to erode which when occurs into motion against the surface of the solid rocks, ad produces a mechanical weathering or physical disintegration of rocks and thereby to transport the rock particles.
  • <u>Abrasion, attrition and corrosion and siltation and the downcutting of the ricks are thus an essential feature of this process. And hence with the rapid flow of the water, the cracks of the rocks develop and they become wide-open and thus acts as a wave that stricks the rocks in the ocean.</u>

G. Explain ONE possible disadvantage of membership in the European Union for a member state such as Germany.
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Net migration

Explanation:

The European Union is a political and economic union of 27 member states that are located primarily in Europe. Its members have a combined area of 4,233,255.3 km² and an estimated total population of about 447 million.

One of the possible disadvantage of membership in the European Union for a member state such as Germany is;

Net migration: Free movement of labour has caused problems of overcrowding in some countries. Immigration has helped to push up house prices and led to congestion on roads. The concern is that in the EU, the states are powerless to place a limit on immigration from Eastern Europe because free movement of labour is a cornerstone of the EU.
