What kind of map shows rock types making up earth's surface?
A geologic map shows rock types making up earths surface.
How do glaciers affect earths surface?
When they slide or move across the land they pick up rocks and soil which changes the Ground beneath it.By glacial erosion which is when slowly over time large U shaped valleys are carved out; or by 'plucking' which is when rocks or boulders are literally plucked up from the surface and carried down the valley.Rocks frozen underneath glaciers carve the land when glaciers move
How does the process of convection rely on radiation?
It relys on it because convection are the air currents that have to be heated by something, so you need objects to radiate heat to heat up the air to start the current
What do you call the ability of water to climb upward in narrow tubes?
The adhesive forces of the polar water molecules to the glass surface, breaks the surface tension of the water and causes a capillary action up the sides of the tube.
Why does air flow from water to land during the day?
The sun more quickly heats the surface of the land during the daytime than that of the water. The reason for this is that the surface of the water has a much higher effective heat capacity (amount of temperature change for a given unit of heat imparted) than land. This contrast in surface temperatures causes the air column over land to expand, consequently an upper level pressure gradient to develop (high over land at altitude vs low over the water) and flow at altitude from land to ocean. This movement of air out of the land air column and towards the water air column causes a surface pressure gradient to develop, with a surface level high pressure over water and a surface level low over the land. This gradient drives the daytime "see breeze" flow of surface level air from the water to the land. It's actually part of a cell that develops that can be thought of as a roll laying parallel to the shore, going up over land, out to sea at height, down over the sea, and towards land at the surface.
