My answer is D but I will still try to word it out again
Gravity pulls the water down off the mountain, witch is run-off.
Answer:
condensation - thermal energy removed
freezing -thermal energy removed
deposition - thermal energy removed
sublimation - thermal energy added
evaporation - thermal energy added
melting - thermal energy added
Explanation:
Thermal energy is heat energy. Processes in which heat is added involve the addition of thermal energy while processes in which heat energy is removed involves removal of thermal energy.
Condensation involves a change from gas to liquid, freezing involves a change from liquid to solid while deposition involves the settling of mobile particles at a place. All these processes involve a decrease in energy of particles.
On the other hand, sublimation is a direct change from solid to gas, melting involves a change from solid to liquid while evaporation involves a change from liquid to gas. All these processes occur when energy is added to the particles in a system.
The velocity is a vectorial quantity, whereas speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it depends on the direction!
As such, the velocity is changing because the direction is changing.
If the Earth's axis were 'straight' ... pefectly perpendicular to the ecliptic
plane ... then:
-- Day and night would be the same length ... every day of the year,
everywhere on Earth !
-- There wouldn't be any seasons, anywhere. There might still be some
'weather' ... cloudy days, sunny days, occasional rain, wind etc. But
there would be no average change during the year. No hot months or
cold months. In any one place, the weather would always be generally
the same, every day, all year. Everywhere all around the equator would be
generally the hottest on Earth, and the local climates would generally get
cooler as you moved away from the equator and toward the poles.
