<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.
Answer:
What Keene High school students are you reading about? And what scientist are you talking about? If you had given more information I would have helped. Anyways, just look at what it says in the book that the scientist did, and what the Keene high school students did. And see what they both have in common.
As Earth rotates, different parts of Earth receive sunlight or darkness, giving us day and night. Since different parts of Earth enter and exit daylight at different times, we need different time zones. In the late 1800s, a group of scientists figured out a way to divide the world into different time zones.
I think that p<span>igments </span>absorb light<span> used in </span>photosynthesis. In photosynthesis<span>, the sun's </span>energy<span> is converted to chemical </span>energy<span> by photosynthetic organisms. ... For instance, </span>plants <span>appear green to us because they contain many chlorophyll a and b molecules, which reflect green </span>light<span>.
I think this is the answer. </span>
