Most autotrophs make their "food" through photosynthesis using the energy of the sun. Heterotrophs cannot make their own food, so they must eat or absorb it. Chemosynthesis is used to produce food using the chemical energy stored in inorganic molecules
The correct answers are:
- Porosity;
- Moisture;
- Temperature;
The weathering is a process that manages to break up the rocks into smaller pieces. This process and its effectiveness and intensity are dependent on multiple factors.
The porosity of the rock can result in a very quick process of weathering. The reason for that is that the water will be able to get inside the rock, thus reacting chemically, but also if the temperatures are very low and it freezes, it will create a pressure inside the rock that will result in cracking.
The moisture is also important factor because the more water vapor there is in the air, the more the chemical reaction with the rocks.
The temperature is very importation because it can affect the rock with both very high and very low temperatures, to widen it little and than to tighten it little, which will eventually cause the rock to break up.
B. Precipitation affects the rate at which nutrients are removed from soil.
Soil is known to be a loose mixture of rock fragments, water, organic materials and air that usually accommodate the growth of vegetation. Thus, formation and development of soil is a dynamic process rather than static and soil is present when pre-historic animals roamed the Earth and some these animals are preserved only fossilized soils buried deep beneath our present soil.
