Explain why a waterfall is a temporary feature on a rivers course

Geography
1 answer:
barxatty [35]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

waterfalls are temporary features of rivers because stream erosion is greatest at waterfalls and rapids. The water that falls at the base of the waterfall erodes rock there, leaving the rock at the tops of the waterfalls to overhang. Overall, undermining causes waterfalls to recede farther upstream.

If the earth is 4.6 billion years old, why is the oldest ocean floor only 180 million years old?
borishaifa [10]

the oldest ocean floor is only 180 million years old, because the oldest crust is destroyed at subduction zones.

<h3>What are subduction zones?</h3>

According to NOAA, tectonic plates are fragments of the Earth's hard outer layer that steadily travel across the surface of the globe over millions of years (opens in new tab). (This is a fundamental principle of the theory of plate tectonics, which holds that pieces of the Earth's crust slide across the lower mantle and carry continents with them.) According to the U.S. Geological Survey(opens in new tab), the Earth's crust and the top part of the mantle, a thick, heated layer under the crust, make up that outer layer, also known as the lithosphere (USGS). This lithosphere material curls downward into the heated mantle during subduction zones, when two tectonic plates collide and one slides beneath the other.
