Answer:
The correct answer is erosion
Explanation:
- Magmatism refers to the positioning of magma on the outer surface and within the layers of a terrestrial planet which on cooling solidifies into igneous rocks.
- Mechanical weathering is the process of breaking of big rocks into tiny or smaller pieces. It is basically a process of conversion of big rocks into sediments thus leading to the formation of soil.
- Chemical Weathering is the process of breaking down of big rocks into tiny pieces by chemical reactions instead of mechanical processes.
- Erosion is the process of removal of soil, sediments and dissolved substance from one location and transporting it to another location on earth crust.
- Metamorphism is the process of change in the structure or com[position of a rock by the action of pressure, temperature or other natural forces.
The correct answer is - from west to east.
On the globe that is presented, the arrows clearly point to a movement of the air masses from west towards east. Both on the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere, the movement is in the same direction, and also, there's no difference in the direction of the cold air masses and the warm air masses. These winds are known as westerlies, prevailing westerlies, or as anti-trade winds.
These winds have opposite movement from the winds that appear on the Equator, as those winds move from east towards west.
Surface of the Earth: Most of the Earth's surface (70%) is covered with water, and the remaining 30% is taken up by the seven continental landmasses. However, underneath the water that fills the oceans, and the dirt and plants that cover the continents, the Earth's surface layer is made of rock.
Answer:
Explanation:
Geodesy, the science of measuring the Earth's shape and positions on it, allows the measurement of plate motion directly using GPS, the Global Positioning System. This network of satellites is more stable than the Earth's surface, so when a whole continent moves somewhere at a few centimeters per year, GPS can tell.
GPS uses a system of satellites to triangulate the position of a receiver anywhere on Earth. By using a network of receivers near plate boundaries, scientists can very accurately determine how the plates behave
Answer:
I'm no paleontologist but my answer would be:
Throughout time the tectonic plates slowly shift. This causes certain things fossil or not to be in landmasses thousands of miles away.
