How was limestone originally formed and how has it now become a cliff face?
Limestone is created when the pressure of the ocean compresses the sea bed (including shells, fossils, and calcium deposits) into a hardened form. Limestone is originally made in the oceans. For a deposit of limestone to become a cliff face would need lots of waves and lots of time. According to the theory of Tectonic Plates, it would be in the area of mountains along the sea, the Rocky Mountains for instance. The moving plate under the ocean would shove against the land plate, causing them to collide and force one plate downward and the other plate upward, creating mountains. This process, of course, would take millions of years. The limestone deposit that originated in the sea would "ride up" the plate to a higher position. Then the waves would crash against them and erode the rock to reveal the limestone.
What does it mean when an electron behaves in ways that are at least partially indeterminate?
When an electron behaves in ways that are at least partially indeterminate, it means that under identical conditions, the electron does not have the same trajectory and does not "land" in the same spot each time.
The yield of the land refers to which of the following?
The amount of crop output from a given area of planted land ion…
Land with a few crops will always have less than the same amount of land covered by a dense forest.?
biodiversity
Are Huricanes Heavy?
Yes. The minimum wind speed for a tropical system to be considered a hurricane is 74 miles per hour, and that is sustained wind. Gusts will be stronger. Hurricanes with sustained winds up to 200 miles per hour have been observed. Strong winds often cover an area hundreds of miles across. Hurricanes also generate large ocean waves and drive the sea onto land in what is called a storm surge.
The two processes by which waves erode the land are impact and?
The two processes by which waves erode the land are impact and abrasion
What do wavees do?
Waves are non-stop, night and day, year after year, shaping the coast line.Waves wear away/erode the coast by breaking the rocks around the land this creates less space for the land and gets smaller in time.
Are two ways which the waves erode the land?
abrasion and impact
Which are two ways in which waves erode the land?
abrasion and impact
What are ways waves erode land?
Abrasion and hydraulic action
What two ways waves erode land?
Abrasion and hydraulic action
What is a way waves cause erosion?
A way waves cause erosion: waves wear away the land and erode the surface.
How are waves involved in erosion?
Yes they are because the impact of the waves erodes the object to a size. The harder the waves the easier and faster the land will erode
The two process by which waves erode the land are?
Well, i only know one of them which is impact
What is the purpose of waves?
Waves are non-stop, night and day, year after year, shaping the coast line.Waves wear away/erode the coast by breaking the rocks around the land this creates less space for the land and gets smaller in time.
Are ocean tides constructive?
no destructive they erode the land. In places that are flat like Florida there are no high waves but in California where there are cliffs the waves are higher.
How can land be formed by waves?
Usually waves erode land. Waves may form land if they push material from another location into a particular area. For example, the natural sea wall on Mt. Desert Island in Maine, was formed by such a process.
