<em><u>Air is less dense on a mountain top than at sea level.  </u></em>

<em><u>More force pushes on the air at the bottom of an air column.  </u></em>

<em><u>As you descend a mountain, air molecules are closer together. </u></em>

Answer: Option A, D & E

<u>Explanation:</u>

Air pressure means the effect of gravitational force acting on the surface area. Density is the measurement on the arrangement of the molecules. Altitude is the height above sea level. Air pressure decrease with altitude.

The altitude always determines the air pressure and density. As we get above the sea level the air is less dense lacking Oxygen. At higher altitude the air molecules spread more. Due to earth’s gravity the air is pushed towards the bottom of an air column.

1. What is the result of a rock undergoing physical weathering?
juin [17]

1. The answer is; soil.  When rock weathers, it disintegrates into small and smaller particles. When these fine rocks particles combine with organic matter from living organisms, they make soil. The mineral component of the soil is therefore similar to that of the parent rock from which it came from.



2. Chemical weathering involves the reaction of the rock mineral with ‘chemicals’ or other compounds. These may include reaction with organic acids or acidic rainwater.  Due to the chemical reaction, the rock chemical composition changes and the physical appearance may also look different.



3. The answer is limestone rocks. They are made of carbon-carbonate minerals. Carbon carbonate is easily dissolved by acids include slightly acidic rainwater/ precipitation.        

CO2 + H2O → H2CO3 (carbon dioxide + water → carbonic acid)

H2CO3 + CaCO3 → Ca(HCO3)2 (carbonic acid + calcium carbonate → calcium bicarbonate)




4. Weathering of rocks is slower in cold regions than dry regions. This is because cold places do not encourage chemical weathering. Chemical weathering requires higher temperatures to  increase the energies of the chemical atoms so that they react fast.

Anchoveta feed on large  zooplankton whereas sardines  feed mainly on phytoplankton.  Use this information to suggest  why sardine numbers are less

likely to collapse during an El  Niño event?

Reason why sardine are less likely to collapse during an El Nino event is as  a result of sardine survival is neither dependent  on zooplankton nor anchoveta rather sardine is dependent on phytoplankton which is not scarce
