Usually it is erosion by natural elements (wind, rain, excessive water), or chemicals (natural chemicals will break down all elements in a matter of time).

Particles of air are closest together near?

Particles of air are closest together near the earth's surface. The higher one goes above the surface, the less dense the air becomes. This is why people often carry oxygen tanks when climbing mount everest.

Why can a astronaut carry more massive equipment around on the moon than on earth?

Because anything on the surface of the moon has only about 1/6 the weight that it has on the Earth's surface.


Convection currents carry thermal energy from the sun to Earth?

No. Convection requires a medium to carry thermal energy from one place to another. There is no or not enough of any material in space to accomplish this. Radiation will carry thermal energy from the sun to the Earth.


How do matter and energy move through an atmosphere?

For living things to carry out their processes, energy must enter the earth system constantly.


Which of the folling can form in the geosphere and carry heat from earth mantle toward the surface conduction currents infared currents convection currents or surface currents?

Convection currents are the ones that can form in the geosphere and carry heat from the Earth's mantle towards the surface. These currents move molten rock in the mantle due to differences in temperature and density, driving the movement of tectonic plates and influencing volcanic activity.


What does the mantle convection cause?

Mantle convection is the slow motion of the Earth's silicate mantle, caused by convection currents that carry heat from the interior to the surface of the Earth. Mantle convection causes the tectonic plates to move around the Earth's surface, causing earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity.


What carries away the surface of the earth?

Erosion processes such as water, wind, ice, and gravity carry away the surface of the Earth over time. These processes break down and transport rock and soil particles, shaping the landscape over millions of years.


How long will it take for chlorofluorocarbons released from Earth's surface today to reach the stratosphere?

Hours or days. Updrafts carry the gases into the stratosphere on a regular basis.


Why is the explosion in stellar space is not audible on the surface of the earth?

Sound travels through air. Between the Earth and any star, there are long stretches of distances with hardly any particles--not nearly enough to carry sound.


What is water that flows over earth's surface?

Water that flows over Earth's surface is called runoff. Runoff is an important agent of erosion, especially if the water is moving fast. The more speed water has, the more material it can carry with it.
