Approximately 69% of earth's water is in the form of glacial ice.
Definition of erosion (according to National Geographic): “Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.”
1. Describe the features that water erosion produces in your images (mountains, canyons, deserts, etc?) What do they have in COMMON?
Mountains: Water erosion would create a waterway around the mountains.
Canyons: Water erosion would create more area between the canyons.
Deserts: Water erosion would generally change the desert’s landscape by making the hills more downslope.
What they have in common: They all create changes to the landscape of different areas.
2. You can see water erosion even when you do not see water. How is this possible? Be clear!
This is possible by rain?
- I’m not exactly sure about this question.
Answer:
Cyclones are shaped by the Coriolis effect. Cyclones are large air masses that rotate around a center. As they rotate, cyclones pull air into their center, or "eye." These air currents are pulled in from all directions. ... In the Northern Hemisphere, these warm air currents move to the right as they travel north.
Explanation:
Based on the Continental drift hypothesis, it is believed that<u> B. </u><u>Continents </u><u>may </u><u>collide </u><u>in the </u><u>future</u><u>.</u>
<h3>Continental Drift Hypothesis</h3>
- Posits that continents were once part of a super continent and then broke apart.
- Posits that continents will keep moving until they collide again to form another super continent after which they will then break apart.
The hypothesis therefore posits that continents will collide at some point millions of years into the future with one such example being the Americas and Asia.

The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault that extends roughly 1300 km in California. It forms tectonic boundary between Pacific plate and North American Plate. Its motion is right-lateral strike-slip. It is divided into three segments, and each of this segments has different characteristics and different degree of earthquake risk. The most significant segment is the southern one, which passes within about 35 miles of Los Angeles. This fault was first identified by professor Andrew Lawson from the UC Berkley in 1895.
