How do four spheres interact with each other?

How do four spheres interact with each other?

All the spheres interact with other spheres. For example, rain (hydrosphere) falls from clouds in the atmosphere to the lithosphere and forms streams and rivers that provide drinking water for wildlife and humans as well as water for plant growth (biosphere). Flooding rivers wash away soil.

How the landslide occurred in terms of potential energy and kinetic energy?

Explain how the landslide occurred in terms of potential energy and kinetic energy. The rock and soil had gravitational potential energy at the edge of the road, overlooking the river. The rain added mass and caused the rock and soil to loosen. The rock and soil gained kinetic energy as it slid down into the river.

How do landslides affect the geosphere?

Landslides can overwhelm, and even pollute streams and waterbodies with excess sediment. In extreme cases they can dam streams and rivers, impacting both water quality and fish habitat. Landslides can wipe out large tracts of forest, destroy wildlife habitat, and remove productive soils from slopes.

What happened to the potential energy?

Potential energy is stored energy. Potential energy is the energy that exists by virtue of the relative positions (configurations) of the objects within a physical system. The book’s potential energy can be released by knocking it off the table. As the book falls, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

At which position on the diagram would an apple have the greatest potential energy?

Answer: Position 1 because it is the highest from the ground.

Why do pendulums change direction?

It’s the Earth which is rotating underneath the pendulum, which makes it appear that the pendulum is in fact changing direction. At the North Pole, the pendulum would appear to rotate through a whole 360 degrees once a day, because the Earth rotates all the way round underneath it.

How does Earth’s rotation affect a pendulum?

And each time the pendulum swings; the Earth rotates a little more. You start the pendulum swinging in a perfect east-west direction. The Earth still rotates each time the weight goes through an arc, but now it’s moving in exactly the same direction as the pendulum. There’s no relative motion.
