What is fast erosion?
Fast erosion is when any force (wind, rain, ice, water, etc.) comes in at a massive amount causing erosion to happen quicker and more violently. For example, A monsoon (heavy rain storm) could create a form of fast erosion known as a landslide. If there is a tsunami the force of the water could rip apart coastlines, and nearby land forms.
Why can metamorphic rock exist on an island of purely volcanic origin?
Rock, including igneous rock, can undergo hydrothermal metamorphism, as hot water that has been near magma comes in contact with it. If the volcano is large enough, pressure can later the rock, which can then be exposed by erosion and landslides.
Which comes first out of summer and winter?
Summer comes first and then winter comes after fall!
From which 2000 movie comes the tagline First comes love Then comes the interrogation?
Meet the parents
Where does the money come from that gets paid to professors?
60% comes from tax payers and 40% comes from the federal government. 60% comes from tax payers and 40% comes from the federal government.
What comes first erosion or deposition?
weathering then erosion ,then deposition
What comes first weathering erosion deposition?
weathering then erosion ,then deposition
What is the role of erosion and depostion?
The erosion is part of the water in the earth. The deposition is when the water comes to an end and just settles.
Does the rock cycle have a certain order?
There are five sequences in the rock cycle. Melting is the first, then cooling and crystallization, followed by weathering and erosion and deportation, next comes cementation and compaction, and finally heat and pressure.
What weathering and erosion would affect the piney woods ecoregion in Texas?
what weathering does is that weathering moves your soil or sediments and then when it hits a stream erosion happens and moves it down along the stream and then comes deposition and the sediment lands at a random spot.
What is it called sediment is dropped and comes to rest?
Deposition
Does the energy of ocean waves comes from the energy of deposition?
the wave forms by being awesome
What does deposition means in the rock cycle?
The process in which sediment moved y erosin is dropped and comes to rest
Where does sand on a beach come from?
The sand comes from the erosion of the land. Some sand also comes from the calcium (a mineral) in seaweed.
Is wave erosion the same as coastal erosion?
Wave erosion is when ocean waves move sediments and erode the ocean floor.Coastal erosion is when ocean waves generate currents, and when in comes into contact with land, it erodes the land.
Why is burial usually necessary to turn a sediment into a sedimentary rock?
The key to converting sediment into sedimentary rock is often though of as being pressure. And it is only by burial that enough pressure can be generated on a layer of sediment to "press" it into sedimentary rock. With pressure and time comes what is called compaction and the expulsion of (most of) the space between the particles of sediment that were deposited. Let's look at sediments being laid down and turned into sedimentary rock.When sediments are created, moved and deposited, they can consolidate and form a layer or layers. These strata will be composed of particles of organic and inorganic material. Included will be the intersticial spaces between the sediments. Any water present in the pore spaces (and there usually is) will bring with it dissolved minerals. These can precipitate out in the spaces, and will cause cementation, which is the binding of these minerals to the particles of sediment and the "sticking together" of the sediments. Following the deposition of more material, pressure (lithostatic pressure) will build on the underlying strata. The compaction forces the layer to become more dense and to "turn to stone" over time. And sedimentary rock is the result of this process.
Is erosion a process in the water cycle?
in a way .when water comes down in the form of precipitation it leads to processes such as erosion which is the washing away of the upper soil layer by rain water.
