Role of erosion Flashcards
What does rotation of an atmosphere do to weather?
it drives weather
what are factors when you have a slow rotation?
- Less Wind
- less weather
- less erosion
What are factors when you have a fast rotation?
- rapid heating/cooling
- more wind
- more weather
- more erosion
what is required for a magnetic field? a slow or fast rotation?
A fast rotation is required for a magnetic field.
Does larger planet size mean volcanism?
yes, because you have a thinner lithosphere, and more activity.
Does a larger planet size mean tectonics?
yes, because you have a thinner lithosphere and more activity.
Does distance from the sun matter for volcanism?
no
Does distance from the sun matter for tectonics?
no
does larger planet size mean erosion?
yes, because you have more gravity, to keep and atmosphere therefor creating wind, weather.
Does distance from the sun have anything to do with erosion?
yes, because too close or far from the sun depends if you get liquid water or not.
Does faster rotation have anything to do with erosion?
yes, more weather, stronger magnetic field.
