What is it called when material moves down slope along a curved surface called?
A slump
What gets created by the physical process that change earth's surface by pushing its crust up or wearing it down?
Water
What is a break in the earths crust called that can move up down or sideways?
It is a fault. :D
What name is this process when rocks break down?
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
What is the process in which a glacier loosens and moves rock?
The process by which a glacier loosens and moves rock is called glacial erosion. It occurs when the glacier's immense weight and movement cause it to pick up and carry rock fragments. As the glacier moves, these rocks scrape and grind against the underlying surface, gradually wearing it down and forming characteristic features like U-shaped valleys and striations on bedrock.
Process of breaking down the earths crust?
Weathering is the process of breaking down Earth's crust.
What pulls the earths crust?
The earths crust is moved rather than pulled by things called convection currents. This is when heated rock from the earths core rises up and reaches the crust where it cools. It then sinks down again and carries on in a circle which moves the crust
What is the process called when the waves repeatedly hit the beach and some of the sediment moves down the beach with the current?
Longshore Drift
What is the process that moves sediment down hill?
erosion
Which process moves water down through the soil?
percolation
What process moves water down through soil?
Infiltration is the process of water moving vertically down through the soil.
What causes uplift?
The earth's crust moves and the crust moves up When you have something like the rifting of a continent, the lithosphere heats up and causes it to rise. sinking of craton edges can be caused by things like tectonic loading.
What is the process called that involuntarily makes it is possible to swallow water while standing on your head and moves food from your mouth down to your stomach?
Peristalsis is the process that involuntarily makes it is possible to swallow water while standing on your head and moves food from your mouth down to your stomach. Peristalsis affects the muscles in the intestines also.
What happens when continental collides with continental crust?
The oceanic crust is force down into the mantle in a process called subduction. The subducting oceanic plate will introduce water into the hot mantle, causing some of the rock to melt. The molten rock will rise through the overriding continental crust to form volcanoes.
What plate boundaries are where the crust forms?
new crust forms at divergint bounderies where plates move apart magma oozes up and cools down and creates new crust and the old crust moves away and sucks in the earth
What is the name of Wave like process that moves food down the esophagus?
Peristalsis is the term for the wavelike motions of the esophagus.
What is the cycle in the mantle called?
Below the Earth's is the Earth's mantle. The Earth's crust changes through plate tectonics, the constant process where subduction describes the Earth's crust moving down into the mantle and elsewhere upheaval brings material to the surface. The process is not really a simple cycle but part of the complex geological processes of an active planet.
