The rising seas are due to neither of the above. Rising seas are caused firstly by the warm oceans expanding, and secondly, by the melting of glaciers and ice caps.

What part of the rock cycle wears down earth's surface?
Weathering and erosion.
What processes impact all of earth's land features and play a part in creating new rocks?
Folding and banding
What is Breaking down of rocks into fragments?
The breaking down of rocks has to do with a process called erosion. Erosion happens over a long period of time, but it can do tremendous rock damage when it's done! Erosion is caused by weather or the ocean. For instance, the sea laps up on a cliff face for years, and then finally breaks off part of, or the whole cliff face.
How is erosion different from weathering?
Weathering is the breaking down of rock into smaller and smaller particles. Weathering processes include frost wedging, acid rain dissolution, root growth, wind particle abrasion, heat expansion cracking, hydraulic fracture, and rock tumbling in rivers and streams.Erosion is the movement of weathered material from one place to another place through the agents of erosion: wind, water, ice, and gravity. nice answerIn tandem, weathering and erosion act to lower the high points, and raise the low points on the surface of the planet.Weathering is different from erosion because weathering is the breaking away of rocks but erosion is when weathered rock and soil move from one place to another.
How is deposition a part of the erosion process?
The part of the erosion process in which sediment is placed in a new location, or deposited.
Why does weathering and erosion happen?
I think weathering happens because you need weathering water is part of weathering.
What is the longest part of the rock cycle?
Weathering and erosion is the longest part.
Weathering is part of the rock why or why not?
Weathering is the process by which matter is taken off of an object. It is NOT part of an object. It is basically another word for erosion.
What is wear on a part?
It depends on what specific part. Or what object is wearing but generally it is called weathering or erosion. Weathering can be either chemical or natural. ;)
What has the most impact on the formation of a sinkhole erosion weathering or deposition?
weathering because the main cause of a sinkhole is mostly rain which is a part of weathering
How is weathering different than erosion?
weathering is part of erosion there are two types of erosion mechanical and chemical. chemical refers to elements such as oxygen and Iron which cause a chemical change such as rust and oxidation mechanical weathering is when rocks or materials are separated by water mass movement etc
What part of the rock cycle wears down earth's surface?
Weathering and erosion.
What basic part does weathering play in the erosion?
It breaks rock into smaller pieces that are more easily moved by the agents of erosion.
What are examples of weathering and erosion?
Processes affecting the surface of the Earth and part of the Rock Cycle.
What basic part does weathering play in the erosion process.?
It breaks rock into smaller pieces that are more easily moved by the agents of erosion.
What are examples of erosion deposition and weathering?
Processes affecting the surface of the Earth and part of the Rock Cycle.
How are sand dunes affected by weathering erosion and deposition?
The wind is a part of weathering, and the wind blows the sand dunes' top layers of sand around every day.
