Explain how the wind can erode the sides of solid rock

Geography
2 answers:
Mice21 [21]2 years ago

Answer:

Well, when wind is blowing, it carries small sediments, like sands. Sands will flow in the direction of the wind. Then the sands will bump into a solid rock continuously and will create frictions thus eroding it. Hope this helped!

Answer:

As wind blows over the ground it picks up small particles of sediment in the process of deflation. The stronger the wind, the larger the particles it erodes. Wind causes erosion through ablation and abrasion. Abrasion can polish rock surfaces

What deos it mean for a satellite to be in geosynchronous orbit
slega [8]
It means that the satellite's orbital period is equal to the Earth's rotation period ... roughly 23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds ... so that the satellite always stays over the same longitude.

IF that satellite's orbit has also been carefully placed over the equator, THEN the satellite is in a 'geostationary' orbit. It appears motionless in the sky, and can be used to sell 900 channels of TV to people with little dishes that they never need to move.

A cone has a diameter of 6 centimeters and a height that is 5 times the diameter. Using 3.14 for pi, which of the following can
MariettaO [177]
The volume of the cone is calculated by the formula:

V = B*H/3
r=D/2 = 6/3 = 2
where B is surface area of basis and H is height.

B is circle which fomula for surface is:
B = r^2 * pi = 3^2*3,14 = 9*3,14 = 28.26

from condition of height we write:
H = 3*D = 3*6 = 18

now volume is:

If we express all of that in equation of volume we get:

V = 1/3* 3^2*3,14*18

What are marine biomes and what threats do they face?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

BELOW

Explanation:

The marine biome is the biggest biome in the world! It covers about 70% of the earth. It includes five main oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern, as well as many smaller Gulfs and Bays. Global warming is causing sea levels to rise, threatening coastal population centers. Many pesticides and nutrients used in agriculture end up in the coastal waters, resulting in oxygen depletion that kills marine plants and shellfish. Factories and industrial plants discharge sewage and other runoff into the oceans.
