What type of particles is produced when 2 atoms of hydrogen combine with one of oxygen to form water?
A molecule of water is formed.
What type of damage can be caused by water hyacinth?
Water hyacinths can deplete the oxygen from the water and kill other animals and plants.
What is the Fancy scientific names for particles of rock being carried along in water?
I would consider tiny pieces of rock carried by water to be sediment. Sediment is generally clay or sand particles, but any type of rock ground into fine particles can be carried by water. This may include igneous-type rocks (those that come from around volcanoes and the bottom of the ocean).
What type of weathering is the gradual wearing away or breaking down of rocks by abrasion?
physical
The gradual wearing away or breaking down rocks by abrasion is a type of what weathering?
Mechanical Weathering.
What is a type of wind erosion in which wind-blown particles scrape away the surfaces of rocks?
Abrasion
What type of weathering is abrasion?
For a fact abrasion is weathering it is machanical weathering
What role does abrasion play in a river?
abrasion is a type of erosion which takes place when the water rubs against the sea bed eroading it.
What type of weathering takes place in moderate temperature?
Biological weathering takes place in moderate temperatures. Abrasion weathering is caused by moving water or wind. That can happen in moderate temperatures.
What type of physical wearing is caused when rocks scrape together causing small pieces to break off?
abrasion
Water erosion is a type of?
water erosion is a type of weathering caused by water.
What type of particles does osmosis transport into and out of the cell?
water
What type of erosion formed beach?
Abrasion
How do rivers wear down rock materials?
The agents of erosion are wind, water, ice and gravity. Erosion is responsible for moving material from one place to another place. Weathering is the breaking or dissolution of rock into smaller particles, and can occur because of frost wedging, acidic rainfall, wind particle abrasion, animal and plant activity, and a number of other causes. Smaller rock particles are more easily eroded.
What problems are caused by silt built up in dams?
A dam is a structure which controls the amount of water flowing. Silt build up is a type of problem many dams face. Silt is a type of sediment which builds up around the dam, as all water contains some form of silt or debris. Some problems caused by silt build up are erosion of dam parts, abrasion to dam materials, and damage to the dam turbines.
What type of wound does scrapping and rubbing cause?
Abrasion
Are meanders a constructive or destructive?
They are destructive because it breaks down the river by wind, water, and ice abrasion a mechanical/physical type of weathering.
