Write a 5 paragraph essay applying physic concepts to the geological processes of the Earth. Introduce the different Earth processes that you will discuss. The next three paragraphs need to be dedicated to the processes and the physic concept(s) that you apply to the Earth’s processes. The last paragraph should conclude what you discovered about the relationship between the Earth’s processes and physics.

Assume that on the surface in the center of a mountain glacier, the long-term average speed of ice movement is 1 meter per day. How long will it take a rock that has fallen onto the glacier to travel 3 kilometers to the glacier’s terminus?
Eddies- Specify the conditions under which eddies might arise. Recognize eddies with a warm core and a cool core by their core temperatures. Explore the process by which eddies convey water masses and animals over the ocean's surface. Investigate how eddies have an impact on ocean output by generating a diverse range of patterns of convergence and separation
Rates of tectonic uplift can be determined from the age and elevation of stream terraces, flat-surfaced deposits of streambed sediment that represent ancient floodplains. By dating the age of the terraces and measuring the elevation of the terrace, the uplift rate is the difference in elevation of the terraces divided by the difference in ages of the terraces. A terrace at 164 m elevation is 101,000 years old while another terrace at 111 m is 24,800 years old. What is the rate
