Why will chaff travel further on the wind?
Chaff is lighter and has a larger surface area relative to its weight compared to other particles, so it gets caught in and carried by the wind more easily. This allows chaff to travel further distances when carried by the wind.
What happens to the small particles of stone particles of stone that are weathered away from the surface of a gravestone?
The small particles of stone that are weathered away from the surface of a gravestone are typically carried away by wind, water, or gravity. They may be dispersed in the surrounding environment, such as into nearby soil, water bodies, or transported downstream. Over time, these particles may undergo erosion and become part of sedimentary deposits or contribute to the formation of new geological formations.
What force acts on the particles of the surface of a liquid?
its surface tension
When particles hit a surface they produce a?
When particles hit a surface, they produce a variety of effects depending on their energy and the nature of the surface. This can include the emission of secondary particles, the generation of heat, or surface displacement leading to changes in the material structure. Additionally, interactions may result in phenomena such as scattering, reflection, or absorption of the incoming particles. Overall, the impact dynamics can lead to significant alterations in both the particles and the surface they collide with.
What do you call a covering of ting crystals on a cold surface?
Frost.
What is the covering of coarse particles left on the surface after the finer particles are carried away by wind and running water?
Desert pavement
Do dust particles damage the lung by covering the surface of the blood vessels next to the alveoli?
no
How prominence like sunspot?
Solar prominences are gouts of charged particles carried from the surface of the sun into space. These particles are carried by magnetic fields, but of course the surface of the Sun is too hot for any magnetic material (>6 000oC). The source of the magnetic field in turn is caused by huge electrical currents of charged particles near the Sun's surface.

When particles of sand shells are carried along in the water eroding and scratching the surface below it is called?
abrasion
Sand particles carried by wind can grind against the surface of rocks. This is called .?
It's called abrasion
What are the three ways that wind erosion moves sediments?
Wind erosion moves sediments through saltation (small particles bouncing along the ground), suspension (fine particles carried in the air), and surface creep (larger particles rolling or sliding on the ground surface).
How do eluviation and illuviation differ?
in eluviation the mineral particles are generally carried downwards the surface while on contrast illuviation is a leaching process where such minerals are brought to the surface, they are both leaching processes
Why do a thin covering form on the surface of tea when you keep it while in a cup?
As the tea cools, the oils, minerals, and other particles in the tea sometimes rise to the top.
What is the polishing and pitting of rocks by wind blown particles?
The polishing of rocks by wind blown particles is known as abrasion, where small particles carried by the wind erode the rock surface. Pitting occurs when these particles strike the rock surface, causing small depressions or dents in the rock. Over time, both processes can lead to the smoothing and shaping of rocks in areas with high wind exposure.
What is one form of the erosion of sediment by wind?
One form of erosion of sediment by wind is deflation, where small particles are lifted and carried away by the wind. This process can lead to the formation of sand dunes and the loss of fine particles from the surface.
Why will chaff travel further on the wind?
Chaff is lighter and has a larger surface area relative to its weight compared to other particles, so it gets caught in and carried by the wind more easily. This allows chaff to travel further distances when carried by the wind.
