Question
Chapter 25, Problem 1RCQ
To determine
The difference between surface processes and tectonic processes.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RCQ
Solution:
Surface processes and tectonic processes are different because surface processes occur on the surface of the Earth, and tectonic processes occur in the interior crust of Earth.
Explanation of Solution
The differences between fungi and animals are as follows:
| No. | Characteristics | Surface processes | Tectonic processes |
| 1. | Origin | These processes originate on the surface of the Earth. | These processes originate in the interior of the Earth. |
| 2. | Occurrence | These processes occur because of weathering and erosion. | These processes result from the interaction of plates within the Earth’s crust. |
| 3. | Examples | Erosion and deposition of the sediments are some examples or surface processes. | Volcanism and earthquake are some of the tectonic processes. |

Lab 8 Part 3 PHET Wave Interface simulation.
I am having trouble with this part of the lab.
Mick and Rick are twins born on Earth in the year 2175. Rick grows up to be an Earth-bound robotics technician while Mick becomes an intergalactic astronaut. Mick leaves the Earth on his first space mission in the year 2200 and travels, according to his clock, for 10 years at a speed of 0.75c. Unfortunately, at this point in his journey, the structure of his ship undergoes mechanical breakdown and the ship explodes. How old is Rick when his brother dies?
Hi,
