How does erosion and weathering effect on an Island?
it might kill it haha
Where might you see a similar type of weathering in nature?
rocks
What things slowly change the earth's surface?
The weathering and erosion of surface materials by water, wind, ice, and gravity will slowly change the Earth's surface. On a geologic time scale, tectonic forces created by the dissipation of heat from Earth's interior, will cause the movement of huge slabs of rock (plates) to separate, collide, or grind past one another, causing volcanoes, mountains, and the creation and destruction of Earth surfaces. Sunlight, it might be added, creates the surface heat necessary for weathering and erosion over time. The location of the planetary orbit and tidal forces also can have a slow, imperceptible effect. The effects of floods, development by mankind, and meteor impacts would be considered rapidly occurring changes to the Earth's surface.
How might more than one agent of mechanical weathering operate in the same place?
By being in the same area or Causing weathering at the same time or place
What is the natural greenhouse effect in the earth's atmosphere and how humans might be contributing to its effect?
Natural greenhouse effect is good because it keeps the Earth warm and habitable using natural greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Although when there is a "build-up" of these gases, the sun's energy (from sunlight) is trapped between the atmosphere and Earth's surface allowing energy to enter but making it extremely difficult to get out. Thus resulting in a warmer than normal Earth.

Would rocks rust if it was left in the rain?
Some rocks might undergo chemical weathering, but it wouldn't be considered rusting unless the rock was at least partially composed of iron.
What weathering conditions might affect copper?
There are a few different weathering conditions that might affect copper. Rain and snow are some conditions that would affect copper.
Image the temperature inside earth was no longer hot how might this affect the rock cycle?
Rocks and the Rock Cycle. ROCKS: Rocks, rocks, rocks. Weathering is all about rocks.
Why are people so concerned about how our electricity is generated in the future?
they might be worried that it's going to effect earth
Where might you see a similar type of weathering in nature?
rocks
Which substance is most resistance to weathering?
give example of a real life situation where a substance's resisrance to weathering might make a difference

Why is weathering important to the rock cycle?
If there is no weather on earth we might not be able to live. weather also brings us food by giving us rain for our crops.
In which galaxy is Earth and how many galaxies might there be?
The earth is in the Milky Way Galaxy. There are estimates now that there could be more galaxies than there are grains of sand. Hundreds of billions at least.
