Actinic keratosis, also called solar keratosis, is a precancerous skin growth that occurs on sun-damaged skin.

<h3>What is skin cancer?</h3>

Skin cancer is a type of disease caused by the uncontrolled growth of skin cells (i.e., keratinocytes that form the layer of the skin).

A precancerous condition is any type of environmental factor capable of altering the normal functioning of cells and eventually leading to cancer.

Actinic keratosis is a condition caused by excessively dry conditions in the skin as a consequence of a prolonged exposition to solar radiation, which may derive from serious conditions (e.g., skin cancer)

In conclusion, actinic keratosis is a precancerous skin growth that occurs on sun-damaged skin.

Identify each event as the result of mechanical weathering or chemical weathering.
kow [346]

<h3><u>The following events are identified as chemical weathering:</u></h3>
  • The minerals in a marble statue react with water to form acids and pores in the structure.
  • The rocks in a region are streaked orange after being exposed to repeated rains.

<em><u>Reason: </u></em>

When the weathering process occurs due to <em>chemical reaction</em>, then it is considered as chemical weathering.

In <em>the first case</em>, minerals of marble statue are <em>reacting</em> with water to cause weathering. In the <em>second case</em>, due to the <em>acidificaion reaction</em>, the change of the color has happened after exposure to the repeated rains.

<h3><u>The following events are identified as Mechanical weathering:</u></h3>
  • A piece of rock crumbles after being constantly thrashed by strong waves.
  • Industrial runoff forms cracks in a rocky structure in its path.

<em><u>Reason:</u></em>

When the rock is broken into simple pieces <em>without any chemical reaction </em>it is considered as mechanical weathering.

In the <em>first cause</em>, due to the <em>abrasion</em> caused by the strong waves, weathering has happened, in the <em>second case</em> industrial run off may be of varying temperature and thus may cause <em>heating or cooling</em> of the rock and causes weathering.

Which term refers to the stages an organism goes through, from birth to death?
Verdich [7]
The answer is A because in a life cycle it start of in birth, then growing up, then adult then giving birth and then death. after death or birth the life cycle starts all over again. but in actuality when it gives birth that's when the life cycle is restarted. think as it's us humans. we are born. after that we grow up to be a toddler - young kid => teenager => young adult => then women gives birth => new baby is born. when new baby is born then the life cycle is restarted. but the next step after a baby's born the mom and dad get old and then death is the last step.<span />
