the effects of constant motion and weathering
the effects of precipitation and a uniform sediment particle
Which statement describes the classification of water as a mineral?
It is a mineral only as a solid because it has a definite crystalline structure.
It is a mineral only as a liquid because its high polarity allows many substances to dissolve in it.

What is the definition of CONDUCTION?
When heat is transferred from objects like rays of light or electromagnetically.
a hot liquid or air that expands, becomes less dense, and rises or becomes more dense, and sinks.
When heat transfers from objects that are touching.
