Answer:

Explanation:

Both increase in temperature and availability of water drives physical and chemical weathering and increases their rate.

Increase in temperature causes rocks to expand  and molecules are more free to move about. Constantly heating and cooling of a rock can lead to mechanical fracturing or cracks developing.

A high amount of rainfall facilitates chemical weathering. Chemical weathering is the decomposition of rocks.

The main agent that is important for natural chemical processes to occur is the presence water.

Water contains some other dissolved substances in it.

This is evident in tropical regions of the world

1. What happens when like charges come together?*
12345 [234]

Answer:

When like charges come together, they repel each other. For instance, when the north and south poles of a magnet come together, they push each other apart. The like poles in the magnet repel each other and unlike poles attract each other much. The same reaction occurs in like and unlike charges. Also, the repulsion acts along the line between the two charges.

In your own words, explain how the red shift in the spectrum of objects in space provide evidence for the Big Bang Theory.
kondaur [170]
The evidence that the universe is expanding comes with something called the red shift<span> of light. Light travels to Earth from other galaxies. As the light from that galaxy gets closer to Earth, the distance between Earth and the galaxy increases, which causes the wavelength of that light to get longer.</span>
