Explanation:It is moving WSW at 2.2 cm (0.87 in)/year and the South Sandwich Plate is moving east at 5.5 cm (2.2 in)/year in an absolute reference frame. The Scotia Plate is made of oceanic crust and continental fragments now distributed around the Scotia Sea.
Two human activities that increase the rate of erosion include farming and deforestation. Both make the top cover of the soil loose making it very easy for it to be carried away by agents of erosion such as wind and water. On the other hand, two natural events that can lead to increased <span>erosion rate include floods and earthquake.</span>
Oceans change the land along the shore, forming tall cliffs and jagged coastlines. "The abrasive nature of seawater causes the rocks to erode over a period of time", the statement explains the type of weathering involved in this process
<u>Explanation:
</u>
The abrasive nature of the sea water of the ocean causes erosion in the rocks which are along the shore. And, this occurs for a period of time causes the formation of the tall cliffs sometimes or to the jagged coastline the other time.
The duration of erosion decides the fate of the cliff or coastline. Erosion of rocks are highly evident in ocean shore line due to the effect of salinity of the sea water. The rocks gets eroded firstly to form jagged coastline which on long exposed erosion forms cliff.
