Ocean waves, wind, rivers, and glaciers are all natural forces that shape and erode landscapes. They each transport sediment and influence ecosystems, with ocean waves and rivers carving Coastlines and riverbanks, while glaciers reshape mountains and valleys through their slow movement. Additionally, wind plays a crucial role in shaping arid landscapes and distributing sediments in deserts. Together, these elements contribute to the dynamic processes of erosion and deposition in the Earth's geophysical systems.
What else can I help you with?
Is it true that earthquake waves can be sorted broadly into four major types?
Yes it's true. They are: Primary waves Secondary waves Rayleigh waves Love waves.
When an earthquakes occurs S waves are the first seismic waves to arrived at a given location?
true
Is it true that Glaciers have sculpted mountains and carved out valleys but no longer flow and shape the landscape today?
While it's true that glaciers have historically sculpted mountains and carved out valleys, many glaciers continue to flow and shape landscapes today, albeit at a slower pace due to climate change. Some glaciers are retreating, but others are still actively moving and eroding their surroundings. The ongoing process of glacial erosion plays a crucial role in shaping topography, even in current times. Thus, the statement is partially accurate but overlooks the dynamic nature of glaciers today.
Why do seismic waves change speed?
"True, the Seismic Waves change speed and direction when they encounter different materials."
Is it true. When waves travel through a medium they carry the medium with them?
No.
True or false-the ocean contains more than 90 percent of the water on earth?
It is true 90 percent of water covers the earth.
Waves start in the open ocean true or false?
The answer is true.
True or False The Nile Delta was formed from ocean waves and currents?
No
Can the ocean erode?
Ocean waves are what causes weathering and erosion on the coast. The force of the waves can create cracks in rocks and break them apart into smaller rockogjswziys.
Which is not true about a wave in the open ocean?
The waves in the open ocean are usually caused by the friction of the winds over the open ocean of water. The waves in the ocean vary in strength and size depending with the speed of wind and the friction with the surface of water.
Is this true or false the energy of ocean waves comes from the energy of deposition?
False. The energy of ocean waves primarily comes from the wind as it moves across the surface of the water, transferring its energy to create waves. While deposition refers to the process of sediment being laid down in a new location, it is not the source of energy for wave formation. Ocean waves are instead driven by atmospheric conditions and the interaction of wind with the ocean surface.
Water is moved toward shore by a wave true or false?
True. Waves carry water towards the shore by transporting energy from the open ocean to the coastal areas.
Is it true or false that the most important agent of erosion is called?
If one of the choices were "rain" or "wind", then those are good answers.
Were lakes were created when glaciers retreated.?
True
Do rivers lose energy when they flow into the ocean?
true, your in aoa, just go to ur previous lessons, then do ur unit 3 test
What Sonar functions by bouncing sound waves off the ocean bottom and recording the length of the time required for their return true or false?
True, sonar functions by emitting sound waves that bounce off objects in the water (such as the ocean bottom) and measuring the time it takes for the echoes to return. This information is then used to create a map of the underwater environment.
What rivers is Brooklyn between?
Brooklyn is actually not between any rivers. It is bordered on the east side by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the west side by the East River, which is actually not a true river, but an estuary, or a tidal straight. Unlike a true river, it connects to the ocean on both sides. It flows south from the bay known as the Long Island Sound, down the east side of Manhattan and the west side of Queens and Brooklyn, into the Atlantic Ocean.
