What particles rain down continuously on the atmosphere of the Earth?
cosmic rays
How are the process of weathering erosion and doposition related?
Weathering occurs when rocks are broken down into smaller particles but not moved When natural forces begin to move weathered particles, called sediments, we say that they are being eroded, or undergoing erosion. Most of earth's erosion is done by flowing water in streams which carry tons of sediment to the oceans each day Deposition occurs when movement slows or stops and suspended sediments are dropped.
What causes the soil and rock particles to fall?
When the ground thaws, the force of gravity causes the soil and rock particles to fall back down. But they fall vertically, toward the center of Earth. The result is movement downhill.
What is the geological definition of the word slump?
A slump is defined as a mass wasting that occurs when a rock mass or clump of loose earth moves down a slope. A lot of time this occurs because of earthquakes or freezing and thawing.
How do glaciers and ice sheets change the Earth's crust?
Continental ice sheets press down the Earth's crust. They deposit rich soil over the land. Glaciers carve valleys out of rock.
What occurs as energy is transferred through a wave?
They move up and down, but do not move forward (NJASK8 Earth Science)
What is the process that occurs when water slows down and particles of rock and sand are laid down in new locations?
Deposition...
Does erosion occurs when chemical activities break down rock?
no, erosion is the travelling of particles of rocks.
What particles rain down continuously on the atmosphere of the Earth?
cosmic rays
What is the most common erosion occurs in the desert?
Eolian Weathering. Wind breaking down and moving particles.
What happens to the speed of particles when freezing occurs?
When molecules freeze the rate of speed they go at tends to slow down
Does the thermosphere block coments?
Yes it breaks it down in particles before it hits earth.

How is the grnding of the biscuit particles like chewing?
The purpose of chewing is to break down food. grinding is an action that occurs in the teeth anyway, using molars
What is The formation of large rocks from particles of sediment that occurs as pressure is applied?
What is the process in which rocks ate broken down into smaller pieces by ice, water
What is the formation of large rock from particles of sediment that occurs as pressure is applied?
What is the process in which rocks ate broken down into smaller pieces by ice, water
Why are some fossils faint or hard to see?
Because it has had the pressure from the earth press down on it and fad it into the rock.
