Why do you think the rate of weathering tends to increase at hotter temperatures and higher amounts of rainfall?

Physics

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

A device has a least count of 0.01m if it measures a length less than 100m the minimum and maximum number of significant figure
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

C) 1 and 4

Explanation:

Least count is .01 m . If one measures any number between 100 and 99 , it will be like 99.25 or 99.37 m . So number of significant figure will be 4 ( maximum )

The least one can measure is .01 so least number of significant figure possible is 1 .

An object is moving north at a constant speed. A force of 5 N begins to push the object east at the same moment that a force of
Svetllana [295]
Since both the forces are equal in magnitude (5N) and opposite in direction (one is toward the east and the other, the west), they'll cancel out each other, and the object will continue moving north
