Answers
1.Aqueous rock: those which are deposited from water and lie in strata ,as opposed to volcanic rocks, which are of igneous origin , also known as sedimentary rocks
.2.seismology: the scientific study of movements in the earth's surface ( earthquakes).

Answer
Those which are deposited from water and lie in strata, as opposed to volcanic rocks, which are of igneous origin; - called also sedimentary rocks.
Seismology is the scientific study of earthquakes and the propagation of elastic waves through the Earth or through other planet-like bodies
Mechanical weathering is the process of breaking big rocks into little ones. This process usually happens near the surface of the planet. Temperature also affects the land.
External forces are forces that act on the system and their agents are part of the environment.For our purposes, we will simply say that external forces include the applied force, normal force, tension force, friction force, and air resistance force.
A tsunami is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake.
Continental Glacier is in Bridger-Teton and Shoshone National Forests, in the U.S. state of Wyoming and straddles the Continental Divide in the northern Wind River Range.
The season of the year between winter and summer when the weather gets warmer and plants begin to grow.
