7. Atmospheric changes in Earth's history have caused large temperature changes through time. Explain

Geography

5 0

Answer:

On the basis of evidence of mass extinction that have resulted due to the changes in climate of earth.

Explanation:

  • Large changes in the earth's climate are controlled by the concentration of greenhouse gases. The rate of carbon dioxide is increasing at a rate more than 100 times greater than has been in the past 800,000 years and this is four-time greater than the time of humans on the planet.
  • Changes associated with the earth's orbit around the sun and its changing composition inform us about the modern-day climate changes.

What is the difference between erosion and deposition?
Verdich [7]
<span>Erosion is the displacement of solids (soil, mud, rock and other particles) by the agents of wind, water or ice, by downward or down-slope movement in response to gravity or by living organisms (in the case of bioerosion). 

Deposition, also known as sedimentation, is the geological process whereby material is added to a landform. This is the process by which wind, water or ice create a sediment deposit, through the laying down of granular material that has been eroded and transported from another geographical location. 

Deposition occurs when the forces responsible for sediment transportation are no longer sufficient to overcome the forces of particle weight and friction, which resist motion. Deposition can also refer to the build up of a sediment from organically derived matter or chemical processes. For example, chalk is made up partly of the microscopic calcium carbonate skeletons of marine plankton, the deposition of which has induced chemical processes (diagenesis) to deposit further calcium carbonate.</span>

You're walking on a beach and see a spit. Explain how a spit could have formed from a rocky headland
jek_recluse [69]

A spit  could form from a rocky headland where prevailing winds would blow at an angle to the rocky headland, gradually depositing sand and shingle at that place.

A spit is a permanent landform resulting from marine deposition and wind deposition. It is usually a long and narrow accumulation of sand or shingle with one joined to the land and the other end projecting at   a narrow angle out into the sea.

Salt marshes sometimes form on the sheltered side of a spit.

Outline the significance of adiabatic temperature gradient in determining the earth’s convective stability ​
Vilka [71]

Answer: Adiabatic temperature gradient is the rate of change in temperature due to pressure under adiabatic conditions.

Explanation:

The rate of change of temperature due to pressure under adiabatic conditions is referred to as adiabatic temperature gradient.

In practice, since in the sea the pressure changes can be considered proportional to depth changes, the adiabatic temperature gradient is usually given as rate of change per unit depth, instead of per unit pressure and for practical purposes and calculations, the unit of depth is often chosen as 1000 m.

The natural and non-natural heat transfer influence the process of adiabatic temperature gradient.
