5 0

A once smooth road surface has cracks and fractures, plus a large pothole. While plate tectonics forces work to build huge mountains and other landscapes, the forces of weathering gradually wear those rocks and landscapes away. Together with erosion, tall mountains turn into hills and even plains.

Weathering The rate of weathering happens on mountains in the same way it does everywhere else. However, rocks at higher elevations, are exposed to more wind, rain, and ice than the rocks at lower elevations are. This increase in wind, rain, and ice at higher elevations causes the peaks of mountains to weather faster.

In three to five sentences, compare the geological processes we observe today to those that would have taken place throughout hi
Annette [7]

There is a similarity in the geological processes we observe today to those that would have taken place throughout history.

<h3>What Law of Uniformitarianism?</h3>

The Law of Uniformitarianism can be employed to compare current geological processes with those that occurred throughout history.

The Law of Uniformitarianism states that the current earth's dynamic geological activity must have occurred in the past in the same manner, at the same speed, and intensity.

The same processes are expected to occur in the future, as well.

The weathering and erosion of the rocks on the surface have caused these changes over millions of years, which is how the various features, structures, and landforms on Earth have created and evolved.

Plate tectonic movement, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis all contributed to the current situation.
