PROBLEM: Process:  -A large rocky area is formed -The rocky area has a higher elevation than the surrounding areas -Water from precipitation falls in the area -The water forms a stream -The stream flows towards lower elevation -The stream becomes a river -The river continues to flow along the same path for a long time -The river erodes the rocky area that it touches -The eroded area cuts deeply into the rock.
 Question: What is the effect of there is more precipitation in the area on less or smaller valleys being formed.?

SOLUTION: against

PROBLEM: Process:  -Your thermostat senses that the room temperature has fallen below your thermostat setting -Your thermostat sends a signal to your heating system to provide heat for your home -When your oil burner is engaged, heating oil travels from the tank to the burner by way of a pump -Here the oil becomes a fine mist mixed with air -The fuel/air mixture is then injected into the burner where it is ignited in the combustion chamber -The warm air is disbursed through vents, hot water through baseboards, or by steam radiators -
 Question: What is the effect of the thermostat signals the heating system less often on more oil will be used.?
