Crustal plate movement occurs because the Earth's mantle flows as a result of uneven heating inside the mantle. Convection cells

are created by very hot material deep in the mantle rising, then cooling, sinking again, and then heating again and then repeating the cycle. This process occurs because of the energy generated by _________________ within the Earth.

The energy is generated by the semi-molten core of the earth which drives the convection currents in the mantle and which causes the plates to move in plate tectonics. James Hutton was the first geologist to intepret that the plutonic rocks on surface like granite were once molten.

Describe the evolution of karst topography. Include at least 5 topographic features a geologist might find. What surface hazards
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Karst topography is formed from soluble rocks with many features that create crevices that channel or funnel the surface water into the ground and aquifers below.  This can lead to contamination of the water quality in aquifers.

Explanation:

Karst topography refers to the topography formed from soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. The topography evolves as the soluble rocks are exposed to wind, sun, and precipitation that erodes the rock materials and creates crevices and the groundwater is channeled away from the surface, inhibiting the formation of lakes and reserves of water at the surface.  When these sorts of rocks begin to dissolve caves and crevices and other forms of underground drainage. Five topographic features a geologist might find are solutions flutes and limestone pavement, cenotes, funnel-shaped sinkholes, and reappearing streams.  

The surface hazards associated with karst topography are sinkholes as well as other topographic hazards such as subsidence and slope movements. There is a lot of surface water and groundwater interaction in a landscape with karst typography and so aquifers are susceptible to contamination from pollution and the use of fertilizers and chemicals at a higher rate than other topographies.  Urban areas and areas where there is a lot of animal husbandry are especially vulnerable to aquifer contamination.

Rudiy27

Answer:

a. prevention, minimization, reusing, recycling, energy recovery, disposal

Explanation:

    The waste hierarchy is a concept used in solid waste management, which consists of identifying the basic strategies and their respective importance for waste management. According to the hierarchy, waste prevention, or reduction, is at the top, so it is the most important factor. It is followed by reuse, recycling and, finally, recovery, the landfill being the last option suggested for the destination of solid waste.
