Which structure can form as a result of a convergent plate boundary?

a continental mountain, due to the collision of two plates

How can water be an agent for chemical weathering?

by absorbing sulfur oxides and creating acid precipitation

Which structure can form as a result of a divergent plate boundary?

mid-ocean ridge, due to the separation of two plates

How can water be an agent for physical weathering?

seeping into the cracks of rocks and freezing

Cracks in rocks widen as water in them freezes. How does this affect the surface of the Earth?

It exposes rocks to increased rates of erosion & weathering.

Weathering
13
Which agent of erosion leads to the formation of sand dunes?
ice
water
wind
gravity
14
How can water be an agent for physical weathering?
by carrying sediment from one location to another
seeping into the cracks of rocks and freezing
by absorbing sulfur oxides and creating acid precipitation
seeping into the soil and dissolving the minerals in rocks
15
Cracks in rocks widen as water in them freezes. How does this affect the surface of the Earth?
It limits the exposure of rocks to acid precipitation.
It reduces the rates of soil formation.
It changes the chemical composition of the rocks.
It exposes rocks to increased rates of erosion & weathering.
