How does gravity play a part in erosion?
gravity causes wind,running water,glaciers,waves,and,rain to occur.without it theses would not occur.
What are the giant pieces of earth outer layer where most earthquakes occur called?
tectonic plates
Where do you find earthquakes?
Earthquakes occur in the lithosphere, which is the crust and solid brittle portion of the upper mantle. The lithosphere is broken into several pieces known as tectonic plates. Earthquakes most commonly occur at or near the boundaries between these plates.
Where does the largest amount of fresh water occur?
The largest amount (by volume) of freshwater above ground is Lake Baikal in Russia. It contains about 20% of the surface freshwater. However, almost all of the world's freshwater is underground.
Where do cyclones occur the most?
Tropical cyclones are most likely to occur over warm and moist, (tropical) seas and oceans. they do move across seas and builds up, but when the cyclones hits the land it will slow down and will loose energy :) hope this helped :)
What can occur as glaciers remove loose pieces of rock or as dragged rock scratches rock underneath the glacier?
something.
How do glaciers occur?
Alot of snow packed together....I think
Why does erosion occur?
because of wind water glaciers and gravity
Where do glaciers grow and how do they grow?
Glaciers usually grow in Alaska. Though they are found in mountain ranges. The weirdest part is glaciers can grow in every single continent but, Australia. In the tropics glaciers occur only on high mountains.
What causes erosion to occur magnets or glaciers?
Magnets do not play any role in erosion. Glaciers are ony of many things that cause erosion.
Which would be likely to occur in a region of continental glaciation but not in a region of valley?
Continental glaciers cover mountain tops and grinds down the peaks and leaves them polished and rounded. Valley glaciers sharpen mountain peaks.
Glaciers weather surface rocks mainly through the process of?
Glaciers weather surface rocks mainly through the process of abrasion. Intermediate earthquakes occur 70 to 300 kilometers below the Earth's surface.
Where do most landslides and floods occur?
Where the soil is loose and rains heavily
What must occur for an igneous rock to become loose sediment?
erosion
How does an erosion in an snowy area occur?
Either by that action of Ice made from compacted snow (Glaciers), by frost heave, or by the action of meltwater.
Why does most weather occur?
weather changes occur in a slow process. weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces.
How does gravity play a part in erosion?
gravity causes wind,running water,glaciers,waves,and,rain to occur.without it theses would not occur.
