surface erosion-the process by which the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water, glaciers, winds, waves, etc.
The Great Lakes were created by glaciers in the last ice age.
That would be called a Fjord.
Glaciers are made up of fallen snow that over many, many years becomes compressed into thickened ice masses. When this becomes too heavy, gravity causes the ice to flow very slowly, and the action of the ice cuts out plains and hills whilst travelling, picking up all the rock and other material in its way. The power of the ice cuts out softer material and grinds on the harder stuff. And land is shaped in this way.
The reaction force in this scenario is the Earth's gravity pulling on the Sun. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.
Capillary action is the force that works against gravity as water infiltrates the soil and moves underground. This force allows water to move upwards through small spaces in the soil against the pull of gravity.
Capillary action is the force that works against gravity as water infiltrates the soil and moves underground. This process involves the movement of water through tiny spaces in the soil due to cohesion and adhesion forces, allowing water to move upward against the force of gravity.
This force is called capillary action.
A good call to action statement for melting glaciers is, "Write to your congressman today and ask them to make this a priority."
This force is called capillary action.
This force is called capillary action.
Moving water, gravity, air, and iceGravity causes a rock tumbles down a mountainside or cliff.Moving water causes the particles in the water to collide and bump against one another.Strong winds carrying pieces of sand can sandblast surfaces.Ice in glaciers carries many bits and pieces of rock.Rocks embedded at the bottom of the glacier scrape against the rocks below.
it is the creation of new landforms
Four types of erosion are water erosion (caused by flowing water), wind erosion (caused by the action of wind), glacial erosion (caused by moving glaciers), and gravitational erosion (caused by gravity pulling material downhill).
Capillary action and the nature of nutrients and water underground are reasons why 100 meter trees can uptake water. Capillary action is the reverse of gravity, which keeps things earth born and grounded. Gravity works downward whereas capillary action works upward.Additionally, nutrients and water underground aren't comfortable with their minimal or no presence elsewhere. So nutrients and water cooperate in moving out of the soil where they're present, and into tree roots and up tree trunks where they're not.
