How do chemical weathering processes differ from mechanical weathering processes?

Biology
1 answer:
bogdanovich [222]3 years ago

The answer is; Physical weathering does not change the composition of the rock while chemical weathering does.

Physical weathering only cracks and breaks the rocks into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering causes a reaction between the rock minerals and acidic rain or organic acids from plants forming different minerals or dissolving the rock minerals.

EastWind [94]

Answer:

D. Mass extinction events separate the three eras from each other

Explanation:

The Phanerozoic is an eon, thus it is representative of the largest unit of geological time. It is further divided into three eras. The three eras of the Phanerozoic are the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic. These three eras have been divided on the basis of mass extinction events. The Paleozoic ends with the mass extinction at the end of the Permian period, which is also the largest mass extinction ever, and it also marks the beginning of the Mesozoic. The Mesozoic ends with the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period, occurring because of a large meteorite or comet impact, marking the beginning of the Cenozoic era. The Cenozoic era is still going, and even though there have been extinction throughout it, none of them has been of a scale big enough to be considered as a mass extinction, so until something like that happens, this era will continue to exist.

What is the digestive function of bile? (Anatomy and Physiology)​
valkas [14]

Answer:

Bile, informally known as stomach acid, chemically breaks down food early on in the digestive process.

Explanation:

Chewing is the first step in the process of digestion (assuming we are talking about humans and other animals with a similar digestive system) where the food is mechanically/physically broken down.

At the same time, saliva breaks down the food chemically (hence why leaving a simple carb such as bread in your mouth causes it to dissolve over time)

Once you swallow, muscles in the esophagus push the broken-down food to the stomach, where more chemical digestion takes place as a result of bile.
