For each of the situations below, state whether it describes erosion, weathering, or possibly both.
Answer:
Erosion
Explanation:
The blowing away of the top layer of the soil at a Michigan farm is best described as scenario that shows wind erosion.
Erosion is the removal of the top layer of the earth on which plant grows. In short is the washing away of soil by stream or blowing away by wind.
When soil is blow away, it is a pure case of erosion. The process of erosion usually follows weathering or sometime occurs together with it.
Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.
Often times, the process of weathering and erosion occurs together. It is loose weathering products that are carried away during erosion.
In the soil layer at Michigan, the process of erosion by wind is current taking place by ablation.
Hydrocarbons. They usually burn. In fact, I can't think of one that does not.
When it is tilted away from the Sun, it is winter in the northern hemisphere. In between we have autumn and spring. The day that the Earth's North Pole is tilted closest to the sun is called the summer solstice. This is the longest day (most daylight hours) of the year for people living in the northern hemisphere.
The first blank can be filled with the Heliocentric model, and the second blank can be filled with Copernicus.
The heliocentric model known as heliocentrism was proposed by the Renaissance astronomer, mathematician, and the Catholic cleric Nicolaus Copernicus resulting in the Copernican revolution.
It is the astronomical model, in which the planets and the Earth revolve around the Sun positioned at the middle of the Solar system. Factually, the heliocentric model was in contrast to geocentrism, in which Earth is positioned at the center of the Solar system.
