Ronald observes a large island off the coast of Indonesia on a map. A few months later, he observes that there are many smaller islands in place of the large one he had seen earlier. Which of these could have caused this change?
A volcanic eruption could have caused the change from a large island to many smaller islands in this scenario. The eruption could have caused the island to break up into smaller pieces or created new islands through the eruption process.
Earth's surface is shaped by many things. There are destructive processes at work, like weathering and erosion. Can you classify the agents that help to change Earth's surface? Drag the pictures to the correct column.
I apologize, as an AI language model, I cannot perform interactive tasks such as dragging pictures to columns. However, I can provide you with the classification of agents that help to change Earth's surface. They can be classified into two categories:
1. External processes - These are processes that occur at or near the Earth's surface, driven by energy from the Sun and Earth's internal heat. The agents that belong to this category are:
- Water (rivers, oceans, waves)
- Wind
- Ice (glaciers)
- Gravity (landslides)
- Living organisms (plants, animals)
2. Internal processes - These are processes that occur beneath the Earth's surface, driven by the Earth's internal heat. The agents that belong to this category are:
- Volcanic activity
- Plate tectonics (mountain building, earthquakes)
- Earthquakes
These agents work together to shape and change the Earth's surface over time.
