What is theories of changes in the lithosphere?
the lithosphere is changes to the theories
Slow surface evolution on the moon is limited to?
small meteorite impacts, gravity pulling sediment down slopes, weathering of rock and sediment due to temperature changes from day to night
Studies of deep-sea sediment cores have contributed greatly to scientific knowledge of?
climatic changes during the last four million years
How do coastlines change?
Well, first of all, there is chemical and physical changes. Erosion can happen by the water constantly hitting the sand or rocks and causing them to change.
How do changes caused by weathering and erosion compare to changes caused by earthquakes?
Weathering compare to plate tectonics by breaking down rocks and The scientific theory of describing the large scale of motions kfor the lithosphere.
Is sealevel constant?
No, it changes with the tides.
Where the coastline changes and advances seaward?
translated coastline
Where the coastline changes advances seaward it is called?
Translated coastline
What is theories of changes in the lithosphere?
the lithosphere is changes to the theories
Which changes sediments into sediment rocks?
compaction and cementation
How do plate tectonics explain the formation of metamorphic rocks?
Movement of the plates takes rock and sediment into different geologic spaces. Convergence and subduction zones push some rock up, while dragging other rock down. This causes changes in the mineral component.
What happened because of plate tectonics?
Plate tectonics result in changes in the relative positions of continents over time, volcanism, earthquakes, and mountain building.
Diagenesis refers to?
changes in sediment or a rock during and after lithificatioin
Theory that explains changes in Earths crust by internal forces?
Plate tectonics
What are results of wave action?
causes beach erosion and changes the coastline
What factors affect a wave's ability to erode and carry sediment?
looseness of sediment, speed of wave, angle of wae on sediment, angle of beach floor (as that changes the waves suction angle height and strength)
What are three scientific possible ways climate changes?
Greenhouse gasses, Solar output changes, Orbital change, Volcanic activity, Plate tectonics.
