Answer:
convection within the atmosphere
Answer:
Birth is an example of a normally occurring positive-feedback mechanism.
Answer:
the very long river
Explanation:
Larger rocks tend to settle out of the water flow sooner than smaller rocks do, so the rocks remaining at the end of a very long river would tend to be very small. A very short river may still be carrying somewhat larger rocks.
The very long river probably drops the smallest rock pieces near the ocean.
_____
Perhaps the implied assumption here is that a very short river will have a higher gradient than a very long river. Another assumption is that rocks are picked up nearer the headwaters, and the gradient decreases with distance.
If both rivers end at a waterfall into the ocean, they may very well carry the same sort of rock size distribution. If the short river traverses muddy terrain, and the longer river traverses rocky terrain, the answer may be reversed.
The Marcellus Shale also categorized as the Marcellus formation is a marine sedimentary rock unit of middle Devonian age found in eastern North America. It elongates throughout the major of the Appalachian Basin.
The shale comprises huge unexploited reserves of natural gas, which makes it an attractive target for export and energy development. There are comparatively scarce presences of fossilized marine fauna found in the Marcellus, however, these fossils are still essential to paleontology.
For example, the Marcellus comprises the primogenital known varied assemblage of thin-shelled mollusks, still possessing well-preserved shell microcomposition. It is also where goniatite, an extinct shelled swimmer identical to a squid, make their initial presence in the fossil record.
At first, the population of predators would spike and increase quickly, but then over time, gradually decrease.
(This is because at first there's more food, so the predators population increases. But overtime it begins to level out and the predators' population catches up with the prey, and in result, doesn't continue increasing.)
