(a)  

a) ………….is made of crust and upper part of mantle.

(a)  

……….is the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces

(a)  

(a)   is laying (settling) down of weathered rocks.

Compare between physical and chemical weathering.

Regarding the meaning of each of them and mention one factor for each one.

Which earthquake will damage more?

• one has 4 magnitude.

• One has 8 magnitude.

• One has 7.5 magnitude.

The movement of the tectonic plates is caused by

• the rotation of the Earth.

• convection currents in the Asthenosphere

• the gravity of the iron-nickel core.

• the Moho discontinuity.

• volcanic islands are forming.

• the tectonic plates are moving away from each other.
