it is D a primary mineral
Answer: B. participate in the hydrologic cycle
Explanation: Residence time of water is the rate of water in a water reservoir such as the ocean or the atmosphere divided by how fast more water is added to it or lost from it.
While residence time is thousands of years in oceans, water in the atmosphere has a short residence time of abut 10 – 11 days. This allows it to participate in the hydrologic cycle which includes evaporation and precipitation. Water in the atmosphere precipitates as snow or rain, returning to other water reservoirs.
Answer:
Earth seismic waves creates vibrations and makes the plate move, it leads to splitting and breaking of the rocks.
Explanation:
- First, when the crust is broken due to forces of folding and faulting processes, the stress extends towards the rocks and which if prolonged can lead to snapping and breaking of the rocks in their new position.
- This process leads to vibration due to the release of the seismic waves. The fault created a fracture in the rocks and thus energy is released from within.
