What happens to hurricanes after they reach land?
What is Hurricanes lose energy?
Explain how the Indian and Asian plates met and the kind of boundary that formed on their meeting. Describe what happened as a result and tell why.

How can a igneous rock turn into a sedimentary rock?
What is Igneous rocks can weather, creating sediments that form sedimentary rocks.
