Q
when we cut down trees, what parts of the water cycle are we impacting?
A
transpiration
2
Q
how can we help this?
A
by limiting how many trees we cut down, or after we cut them down we get companies to immediately plant more. we could limit the need for lumber and other resources.
3
Q
what is the difference between weathering and erosion?
A
weathering is the breaking down of rock into sediments, and erosion the movement of those sediments from place to place.
4
Q
give an example of both?
A
an example of weathering is the grand canyon because the calorado river used to run through it and the water froze in rocks and broke them up. it is erosion too because when the rock was broken up it got compacted together and made sedimentary rock.
