The erosive power of wind, like the erosive power of running water, is dependent on its ability to abrade by the movement of one material against another material. Because of the density and mass of water as compared to air, it would be logical to assume that moving water can move and abrade more material than moving air. Rainwater has the added ability to act as an acid on many rock forming minerals, thus enhancing its erosive powers. Additionally, freeze/thaw cycles can expand joints in larger rocks, breaking them into smaller rock units and making the entire mass more vulnerable to acid attack. And finally, water feeds plant growth, the roots of which can penetrate rock crevices, expand, and aid erosion.
Because wind slowly and constantly wears the object down, but it takes a long time. Water, however, not only does this in the rivers and streams, but falls in the form of rain, further wearing down the object. And if this wasn't enough, it freezes in the little crevaces and expands as Ice. When it melts, not only does it disappear leaving a huge gap, but then the object collapses into further smaller pieces which is then relentlessly worn down by the same process.
1) Friction.
2) Destructive impacts on the surface caused by energy transfer from dust and debris carried along in the fluids.
3) Water dissolving elements in or at the surface; this happens with still water too, but if the water is moving, the solution is less concentrated and therefore more able to dissolve the solute.
I venture that it is because water has two physical states liquid and as a solid - ice. Water has also a higher density than air.
the impact of the water hitting the surface erodes it away
This is just a guess but water erosion is more constant than wind erosion and faster moving than erosion by ice.
Yes. The tectonic plates are still moving, erosion is still taking place, some mountains continue to grow, and volcanoes continue to erupt new material.
yes
yes
Due to plate tectonics still moving, it causes the Earth's oceans and continents to continue moving.
the plate tectonics. the plates were (and still are) moving which caused the supercontinent to split apart and come into the places where they are today. someday, since the plates are still moving, all the continents will come together again and form another supercontinent.
put them in a series of one after the other movements and flip the quickly
How fast a person is moving, while standing still, on the surface of the Earth.
The lack of atmosphere means there is no wind, or rain, etc. to either erode or wash away the footprints. The only way for the footprints to be disturbed would be from an impact event, such as a meteor striking the moon's surface near the prints and disturbing the surface.
Yes. The tectonic plates are still moving, erosion is still taking place, some mountains continue to grow, and volcanoes continue to erupt new material.
Unlike Earth, the moon has no geologic activity, not atmosphere, and no water to erode, bury, or otherwise destroy craters. Except for newer impact craters, the moon's surface has changed relatively little since soon after its formation while none of Earth's original surface is still intact.
Friction is still there and gravity causes that, if there is no gravity there is no friction. Only in your case friction is reduced because there is less drag because of the polished surface it is not harder to move along the surface. (assuming there is a force moving the object on top of the surface)
You could do 'quickly moving', 'slowly moving'.. Etc. If you're only using move not moving, the same would still apply. You could do fast move, slow move, bad move, good move and many more-- whichever fits the situation the best.
Trains are very efficient at moving large quantities of goods very quickly and cheaply. Smaller loads are more efficiently moved by truck, but for large quantities, trains are still the way to go. Subway systems are also great for moving large numbers of people in concentrated urban areas.
it depends. if the car isn't moving, but the engine is still on, then yes the pistons are moving. if the engine is off, and the car isn't moving, then the pistons are still.
"Still" is an adjective when it means "not moving."
The forward momentum of the car would still push you forward, and you would be dragged on the ground for some time. But if you really want to know for sure, try it. You'll find out pretty quickly why it's not a good thing. With all that said, never, even if a car is moving slowly walk out of a moving car.
