Evaporation
This is the velocity of a dog that runs 12 meters in 6 seconds
What is 2m/s ?
Type of erosion in which water seeps into cracks and then expands during cold temperatures to cause larger cracks.
What is Ice Wedging?
This type of erosion is found in rain sometimes and actually breaks downs rocks and metals over time.
