How mouy freeze thaw weathering lead to the formation of a scree slope?
Like the formation of your face.
In geography what does relief mean and why is it so?
A Relief in Geography shows changes in elevation over a given area of land.Using different colors or lines.Or to make it easier...height above a local regionRelief describes the height (how high up the area is), the aspect (the direction in which a slope faces), the shape (what shape the land looks like) and the slope(how steep the slopes are) of an area.
What did the continents look like before the continental drift?
One big continent called pangea.
What is the land like in North Dakota?

What does the continental slope look like?
Ocean floor from the edge of the continental shelf to the continental rise

How does the slope of the land affect the amount of soil eroded?
The amount of soil erosion depends on length of the time quantity of land mass natural factors like wind temperature water and the hight difference of surround material. Slope is a major factor to affect this process more slope means much easier to drift the soil
An example of a caldera is?
It is a cauldron-like volcanic feature usually formed by the collapse of land fallowing a volcanic eruption.
How Continental drift changes earth?
continental drift can change there earth in many different ways like land forms and climates for example the Hawaiian islands were originally and under water volcano but over the years it has traveled under the crust making new land.
How is a submarine canyon formed?
A submarine canyon refers to a steep-sided valley cut into the sea floor of the continental slope. It is formed through turbidity currents that carve out the submarine canyons in the continental shelf.
Was gondwana and laurasia formed by continental drifts or erosion or deposition or earthquakes?
Gondwanaland was moved by the continental drifts assisted by the convection currents. But they were formed just like any other piece of land, but moved by the currents.
What can occur on a steep slope during an earthquake?
That is a great question! Something that can occur on a steep slop during an earthquake is that it can trigger massive land slides, which is pretty much just moving land, a land slide is pretty much like a mud slide!
