What else can I help you with?
Is it possible for a stream to be neither eroding nor depositing material When would this occur?
Only if the rock it is over is incredibly durable. I'm not sure there exists rock that won't slowly erode when water runs over it quickly enough.
Is the petra a landform?
That is a very good question. If when you say petra you are talking about the narrow gorge or canyon of sandstone walls then yes petra is a landform. The word petra means rock. If you are talking about the tombs and architectural structures like El Dier that were carved out of the rock by ancient civilizations then no petra is not a landform. Landforms are created by various geological forces not by humans.
Why does ancient Rome land look like a boot kicking a rock?
That is how the landform panned out as the sea rose.
What makes an aquifer able to store water?
Water infiltrates the ground and seeps downwards through the soil. When it meets a layer of rock, then (i) if the rock is highly permeable by nature (sandstones, etc) the water will saturate the rock. It will also saturate highly fractured rock, so it's possible for igneous rock such as granite to form an aquifer. The best combination is highly fractured, permeable rock. (ii) if the rock is impermeable (unfractured granite, for example) the water will "pool" on top of this - it is a confining aquifer. So we can get permeable rock layers (saturated with water) sitting above impermeable layers (that prevent the water sinking any lower) , and this is how we get groundwater. It's possible for groundwater to flow, and a lot of groundwater eventually flows into streams and rivers.
What are the events in the formation of an evaporite?
An evaporite is a sedimentary rock that is soluble in water. It occurs where there is a lake that evaporates more quickly than rain or river water enters the lake. The water evaporates and the rich mineral sediment becomes a rock or a crystal.
If waves erode the soft rock along the base of a steep coast the result may eventually be what kind of landform?
The landform is called a wave-cut cliff, or wave-cut platform, where a flat rock area extends into the sea, at or near the water level.
A stream valley landform is the most common result of what?
A stream valley landform is the most common result of erosion by flowing water over a long period of time. Water shapes the land by cutting through rock and soil, creating a valley with a stream or river running through it.
How can caves form by erosion?
The water bashes against the rock and throws little rocks at the big rock eroding away the big rock causing a cave x
What dug the Grand Canyon?
a stream eroding the rock
Which natural force most likely shaped this landform?
The landform was most likely shaped by erosion caused by water flow, such as a river or stream. Over time, the water's movement would have gradually worn away the rock and soil to create the landform's current shape.
How does erosion and weathering form headlands and bays?
Erosion and weathering shape headlands and bays by wearing away the land at different rates. Headlands are formed when hard rocks resist erosion, creating a protruding landform into the water. Bays are carved out by softer rocks eroding faster, forming a concave landform that curves into the land.
What does wind eroding rock deposit?
it deposits dust and other molecule found in the rock
How is a landform made?
there made of rock
If waves erode the soft rock along the base of a steep coast the result may eventually be a landform called a .?
Wave-cut cliff
What do sand and boulders have in common?
They are both eroding rock particles.
How does ice contribute to physical weathering?
It falls in the cracks as water and freezes. As it freezes, it expands, eroding what ever it fell into, whether its concrete or rock.
Identify landform C explain how it forms and tell whether it is the result of erosion or deposition.?
Landform C is known as a sea stack. Sea stacks form when waves erode coastal rock formations, leaving isolated pillars of rock offshore. Sea stacks are primarily the result of erosion caused by the continuous action of waves wearing down the coastline.
