What is a prominent chin?
If someone has a prominent chin, it usually mean that their chin either has a cleft or is especially long, or both. There are many people who have prominent chins, one of the most well known is actor and director, Bruce Campbell.
The process of blowing soil away?
When soil is washed away by water and wind,it's called soil erosion.It usually happens at hills with not many trees.If there are many trees, the roots will hold the soil firmly so there will be a lesser chance of soil erosion to occur.
What is known as the process of soil and sand being dropped in a new place?
The process of dropping soil and sand in a new place is called deposition. It can be accomplished either by wind or water erosion.
Why do surface currents curve?
surface currents curve because the waves of an ocean bushes the sand. it mostly depends on the weather if its hot waves are known ed to be smooth, but if is bad weather like thunder or rain the waves will move faster so the currents cant handle the strength so it moves so it upper level curves leaving the sure to move closer to land.
What human activities can contribute to the breaking of rocks?
Erosion is a continual process, and it can be caused naturally or through artificial means. While many people associate erosion with negative things like land slides and poor soil conditions, it is an important part of the geologic processes which make the Earth what it is. As soil and rock are slowly worn down, they cycle through the Earth's crust and the general environment, causing a constantly shifting and varied surface.

Water is sometimes called the universal solvent, because it is so effective at dissolving and changing things. Rain and runoff contribute to erosion, as do glaciers, snow, and ice. Ice can be particularly insidious, because it will literally rip rock and soil apart as it expands and contracts. Many seashores distribute spectacular examples of water erosion, in the form of huge terraces of rocks slowly worn away by the ocean. Tectonic movement can also contribute to erosion, as can the wind. Wind transports materials from one place to another, and in extremely windy locations it can contribute a powerful scouring force to the process of erosion. Materials also naturally tend to slide down a slope, in a process called mass wasting. This downward pull is what causes mountains to slowly melt into hills and plains, and it is constantly happening, although not always in the spectacular form of a landslide. Humans can also bring about erosion, usually through poor land management. Overgrazing, for example, is a serious cause of erosion. Cows in particular are known for causing serious problems, especially along river banks. Areas which have been heavily grazed for centuries show clear signs of erosion and soil exhaustion due to the demands made on the soil. Deforestation can also cause erosion, since it strips the protective surface plants and trees from the soil. The soil is no longer held in by roots and plant matter, so it slides away in rainy periods.
