While standing near a river, a student noticed small rocks colliding with larger rocks, causing small pieces to break off and be
carried downstream. What processes is the student observing?
A. The small rocks are chemically weathering the larger rocks and erosion is moving the pieces downstream.
B. The small rocks are chemically weathering the larger rocks and deposition is moving the pieces downstream.
C The small rocks are mechanically weathering the larger rocks and erosion is moving the pieces downstream.
D. The small rocks are mechanically weathering the larger rocks and deposition is moving the pieces downstream.
C. The small rocks are mechanically weathering the larger rocks and erosion is morning the pieces downstream
There is no chemical change in this so it has to be mechanically. Than erosion is causing the rocks to be moving the pieces downstream. Deposition means another thing...
How would such an increase in temperature most likely affect Earth's water cycle? A. It would reduce ocean evaporation which would result in a decrease in precipitation. ... It would diminish cloud formation which would result in an increase in precipitation.
The region that would be eroded the most would be those at the slopes of the mountain. When heavy rainfall comes, the soil in these regions gets soften thus being forced down forming a run-off due to the force of gravity. These eroded soil would eventually continue to the valleys thus causing landslides.
