Geography

Answer:

Water from rivers erodes the banks, the ice breaks up rocks, intense rainfall causes mass wasting, water from rainfall flows as runoff and creates ripples.

Explanation:

Earth has several spheres, all of which have their own unique characteristics that define them as such. Despite all of them being very different from each other, they can not exist in the form they are if there is no interaction with the other spheres, thus all of the spheres are interconnected and they depend on one another.

Two of those hydrospheres are the hydrosphere and geosphere, and they interact in many different ways. When there is rainfall, the water that ends on land flows as runoff until it reaches a water body, and while it does so it manages to create ripples in the ground. If there is intense rainfall in an area where there is steep and unstable terrain, it can easily cause mass wasting by oversaturating the soil with water. The water that flows in the rivers with its power is constantly eroding the banks. If water freezes and turns to ice because its volume becomes greater, it is able to break up rocks with the pressure it creates on them.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The answer is Batholithic intrusions

Explanation:

The Half Dome is an isolated mass suspended within the batholithic intrusions. Developed due to  vertical jointing, exfoliation, and some glacial activity. Steep face of half dome began to take shape as thin slabs of rock b/w parallel vertical joints were loosened by weathering and mass wasting and fell away layer by layer. Tenaya Glacier cleared away exfoliation debris and talus flowing in direction parallel to trend of vertical joints, removed sheets of rock by plucking . Rounded back of Half Dome formed as curved shells of rock exfoliated
