Which technology, developed in the early 1960s revealed the edges of tectonic plates and led to the development of modern plate tectonic theory

Why does physical weathering speed up the processes of chemical weathering? a) physical weathering requires abundant water, as does chemical weathering. b) physical weathering produces fresh surfaces for chemical weathering to attack. c) chemical weathering can occur only on small surfaces, not large ones. d) chemical weathering requires salt, which is provided by salt wedging.

Sandstones that form in aeolian (wind/desert) environments appear very different from other sandstones, such as those formed in a beach/ shoreline environment and in rivers on land. give three identifying properties for each of the three sandstones that would tell a geologist which depositional environment they formed in. consider things such as the relationship between transportation and grain size, shape, roundness, sorting, fossils and composition.

Where would you be most likely to find a freshet?
