Which characteristic would most likely remain constant when a limestone cobble is subjected to extensive abrasion?

Geography
1 answer:
Margaret [11]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Composition

Explanation:

Weathering can be simply defined as the break down of rocks that is caused by the agents such as wind, water and ice. One of the process that leads to the weathering of rocks is abrasion, where the rock is scrapped off due to the continuous flow of water, blowing of wind and movement of ice over the surface of the rock. Limestone is a chemical sedimentary rock that is easily disintegrated when rainfall occurs. It dissolves the materials present in the limestone rock, and is considered to be a chemical weathering process.

When this limestone rock is subjected to extensive abrasion, then only the composition of the rock remains constant, and its other properties alters.

The combination of the weathering and erosion of the stream bank and the cutting into the bedrock from the velocity of the strea
NikAS [45]

The combination of the weathering and erosion of the stream bank and the cutting into the bedrock from the velocity of the stream combine to make a "stream valley".

<h3>What is stream valley?</h3>

A stream valley is an earthen dip where water is present at its lowest point. These valleys are the result of erosion, which is the transfer of decomposed rock or soil from one location to another.

The formation of stream valley is given below-

  • The typically V-shaped stream valley is changed to a U-shaped valley because the U-shape offers the flowing glacier the least amount of frictional resistance.
  • Because a glacier's cross section and viscosity are substantially greater than those of a river, its route has fewer and wider bends.

What can Benito conclude about the effects of Florida's elevation on its climate? Florida typically experiences cold temperature
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: Florida typically experiences warm temperatures and temperature changes within a narrow range.

<u />

<u>Question</u>

Benito is doing research on the effects of Florida's elevation on its climate. His notes include the following:

1. The average elevation of Florida is 30 m above sea level.

2. The highest point in Florida is Britton Hill, which is 105 m above sea level.

3. The change in temperature from 0 m to 1,000 m is 7 °C.

Explanation: The low elevation of the area suggests a warm temperature, The higher you go, the cooler it gets. Also Benito observed that the change in temperature from 0 m to 1,000 m is 7 °C.  This shows that there a narrow range in the temperature across Florida.

In addition, Florida is a coastal area. Coastal areas experience mild climates with warm summers, cool but not harsh winters and lots of rainfall. The reason for the warm weather in coastal area is the difference in the time it takes the land and the sea to absorb heat. Air from the sea then cools the land during the day and at night, cool air flows to the sea.
