The block on the right is most likely moving upward relative to the block on the left due to tectonic forces, but erosion acts independently of tectonic movement. Erosion can lower the elevation of a block over time through processes like weathering, mass wasting, and transport of sediment, regardless of its tectonic movement.

How does a glacier-eroded valley differ from a stream-eroded valley?

A glacier-eroded valley will typically have a U-shape with steep sides and a flat bottom, while a stream-eroded valley usually has a V-shape with a narrow channel and wider floodplain. Glacier-eroded valleys are often much larger in scale and can be sculpted by the movement of thick ice over long periods of time, whereas stream-eroded valleys are shaped by the gradual erosion caused by flowing water.


What happens to a mountain root as the mountain is eroded?

As a mountain is eroded, the mountain root (the deep-seated portion of the mountain that stabilizes it) may become exposed or covered by eroded material. The root may also be weakened or eroded, contributing to the overall erosion of the mountain.

Sediments eroded from mountainsides and transported in streams are an example of the conservation of?

Sediments eroded from mountainsides and transported in streams are an example of the conservation of mass. The total amount of sediment that is eroded from the mountainside remains constant as it is transported by streams to other locations.
