Question

match earths surface features with their formation processes. consider various spatial and temporal scales of internal and surface processes. move each answer to the correct box. grand canyon sea cliff mid - ocean ridge himalayas coastal erosion orogeny weathering volcanism

Explanation:

1. Grand Canyon: Formed over millions of years by the Colorado River's erosion, combined with weathering that breaks down rock layers.
2. Sea cliff: Created by the continuous action of waves wearing away coastal rock, which is coastal erosion.
3. Mid-ocean ridge: An underwater mountain range formed by tectonic activity where magma rises and solidifies, a type of volcanism/sea-floor spreading.
4. Himalayas: Formed by the collision of tectonic plates, a mountain-building process called orogeny.

Answer:

Grand Canyon → weathering
sea cliff → coastal erosion
mid-ocean ridge → volcanism
Himalayas → orogeny
