How is weathering and Uplifting similar?

Weathering and uplift are similar in that they both contribute to the process of shaping the Earth's surface. Weathering breaks down rocks and minerals into smaller particles, while uplift raises these particles to higher elevations. Both processes are part of the larger cycle of erosion and deposition that continuously transforms the Earth's landscapes.


How do three processes act together to wear down and build up earth's surface?

Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, erosion transports these pieces to new locations, and deposition delivers these particles to build up new layers on the Earth's surface. Together, these processes continuously wear down and reshape the Earth's surface over time.


How is Earth surface changed by slow process?

Earth's surface is modified by slow processes such as weathering, erosion, and deposition. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller particles, erosion transports these particles from one place to another, and deposition results in the accumulation of these particles to form new landforms over time. These processes continuously reshape the Earth's surface and contribute to the formation of mountains, valleys, and other geological features.


What are the effects of weathering and erosion on earth?

Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller particles, leading to soil formation and altering the landscape. Erosion then transports these particles away, shaping the land and creating landforms like valleys, canyons, and deltas. Both weathering and erosion are natural processes that continuously reshape the Earth's surface over time.


What do you call the process of water from the atmosphere going down to earth?

that process is called precipitation...............

What layer are cool particles pulled down by gravity?

Cool particles are typically pulled down by gravity at the troposphere layer. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere where weather phenomena occur, and gravity causes particles to settle towards the Earth's surface within this layer.


How does a rocket ship go through the earth's atmosphere?

The engines provide lift, which pushes projectiles down. And, since every action has an equal and opposite reaction, since the engine pushes particles down, the particles push the engine up. The engine, in turn, pushes the rocket ship.


What role does the presence of tiny particles in the air play in cloud formation?

The role is for them to come down from the atmosphere and take oxygen and other materials. When they take oxygon they slow it down on earth.


What is the name given to elementary particles originating in the sun and other stars that continuously rain down on the earth?

Stars are constantly emitting solar radiation, or CMEs (coronal mass ejections). Earth is a target to solar radiation, but fortunately most radiation is either deflected Earth's magnetic field or ozone layer protecting us from it. Solar radiation is dangerous and lethal in outer space if exposed to it. Earth's magnetic field directs solar radiation to the poles and when it reacts with the atmosphere it lights up and creates the northern lights.


Why would ash and other particles in the atmosphere cool temperatures?

They cool down when they combine carbon dioxid and atmosphere.

How is the Aurora Australis formed?

The Aurora Australis in the southern hemisphere, (and Aurora Borealis in the northern hemisphere) are magnificent displays of coloured light. They result from collisions between electrically charged gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere with charged particles from the sun that enter the atmosphere. Sunspot activity causes electrons and protons from the sun to be blown towards the earth on the solar wind. The different colours are caused by the different types of gas particles. The reason they occur more at the poles is that earth's magnetic field, which usually deflects the particles, is weaker there, allowing the particles to enter. Some particles are attracted by the magnetic poles due to the electromagnetic behaviour of charged particles, which causes the particles to be led down the lines of magnetic flux until they hit the atmosphere.

Do meteors glow as they collide with earth's atmosphere?

Yes and No, When they are flying down toward earth the are burning in the atmosphere thus making them appear to glow.
