nonrestrictive phrase

Explanation:

A nonrestrictive phrase is characterized by a non-essential sentence within a sentence. In this case, although this sentence is important and presents additional information about another sentence previously said, its existence within the sentence is not essential for the sentence to make sense. Thus, the removal of this sentence will not be missed by the reader, who will continue to understand the sentence.

An example of this can be seen above. This is because the phrase "formed by years of erosion," is not essential to establish the understanding of the phrase, being therefore a nonrestrictive phrase.

explanation:

family is anyone that you care for and they equally care for you, family sticks together and everyone loves one another, whether they are blood or not anyone can be family. family composition is the makeup of a family, including the number of members, their ages, and their relationships to each other.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
