The correct answers are:

<em>C) glaciers;</em>

<em>D) rivers;</em>

The glaciers, with their massiveness, sheer force and weight, are able to break down both, big and small parts of the rocks, thus eroding them. Considering that the glaciers are also moving, though slowly, they are transporting the eroded material over shorter or longer distance, depending on the length of the glacier itself.

The rivers, with their force and also with their chemical composition, manage to erode the rocks little by little, and than transport the eroded sediment. The transportation distance depends on the length of the river, as well as its speed.

Knowing that is 150 meters (about 450 feet) from the waste dump to the homes that existed in 1978, estimate how long it took for

kari74 [83]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{About 50 yr}}$

Explanation:

$\text{Time} = \text{150 m} \times \dfrac{\text{100 cm}}{\text{1 m}}\times \dfrac{\text{1 s}}{ 10^{-5}\text{ cm}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 da}}{\text{86 400 s }} \times \dfrac{\text{1 yr}}{\text{365.25 da}}\approx \text{50 yr}\\\\ \text{It took $\large \boxed{\textbf{about 50 yr}}$ for the waste to move from the dump to the homes.}$

Most of the rainfall in this region falls

algol [13]

In Syria and Jordan, most of the rainfall is on the West of the two countries, closest to the Mediterranean Sea. (so not in the East)

there is also a considerable amount of rain at the Golan Highlights, which are just West of the Jordan River, so in total the best answer is
d. on the highlands and the Mediterranean coast.
