Did weathering and erosion occur slower in the past?
No
How do weathering and erosion change a mountain overtime?
As you may know, weathering is the process of water constantly wish & washing on rocks and eventually eroding them away. Mountains have constant cold moisture and frozen precipitation on them so they eventually break down, alot slower but over time they surely do.
Why is weathering slower in hot and dry climates?
For extensive weathering to take place requires rain. Dry climates are lacking the essential ingredient known as water.
List and explain the various factor that influence the rate of weathering?
Porosity .Porous sediments equals better circulation and thus fater weathering process. .Impermeable rocks will mean that no or little circulation and thus slower weathering process.
What is the definition of differential weathering?
Differential weathering is the difference in degree of discoloration, disintegration, etc., of rocks of different kinds exposed to the same environment. Quartz deposits in basaltic flows will weather slower than the surrounding rock, while being exposed to the same forces of weathering.
Is a landslide slower than weathering?
Landslides are very fast. Weathering is slow.

Why do you walk slower when you are traveling up a hill?
It requires greater muscular exertion to raise yourself to a higher elevation against the force of gravity, than it takes to walk on a level surface.

Why does molasses have a higher viscosity then water?
Because it is slower

Is ddr2 slower than ddr3?
DDR2 is slower than DDR3 due to their difference in bandwidth. DDR3 has a higher bandwidth hence can transfer data at higher speeds than DDR2.
When salt is added to boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius will the water boil faster or slower?
Slower, at higher temperature that is.
Does water or land reach a higher temperature?
Water (oceans) is slower than land to warm up, and also slower to cool down.
