Answer:
Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds, Three main ingredients are required for photosynthesis: water, carbon dioxide, and light. Plants use light energy from the sun to convert six water molecules (6 H2O) and six carbon dioxide molecules (6 CO2) into a molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen, Carbohydrates(glucose) and Oxygen is the end product.
Answer:
The hardness rating is 4.
Explanation:
Calcite sits at a hardness rating of 3 and is very easily scratched with a knife and/copper coin. This is where most Marbles, limestones, travertines, rate.
Meanwhile, Fluorite sits at hardness 4 and can be scratched by a knife.
Answer:
Abiotic is basically a non living factor so the answer is
D. Sunlight, temperature , conductivity, dissolved oxygen.
All other options contain one biotic or living factor like algae, star fish and crabs these aren't Abiotic.
<span>A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water.
There are three types of weathering, physical, chemical, and biological.
For the physical weathering, there are two main types. Freeze-thaw cycles and exfoliation. Obviously the freeze-thaw cycles require water and the exfoliation generally happens through thermal expansion and contraction which doesn't require water. But since neither of these mechanisms were observed, that doesn't indicate if the area was wet or dry. Biological weathering is caused by plants or animals breaking down rocks via chemical (acid) or mechanical (root growth) means. Life generally indicates the presence of water, but since this form of weathering wasn't observed, we still don't have enough data. Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the rocks to form new minerals and salts. There are several types such as acidic rainwater dissolving part of the rock, and oxidation. With this in mind, let's take a look at the available options.
A moist environment because there is a greater density of oxygen in the atmosphere in the presence of water.
* Yes, we need a moist environment, but the density of oxygen is fairly constant world wide regardless of how moist or dry the environment is. So this is a bad choice.
A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water.
* Water speeds up chemical weathering of all types. So this is the correct choice.
A dry environment because the increased albedo of deserts encourages physical weathering processes such as oxidation.
* Yes, the increased albedo of deserts does speed up spalling, but oxidation is a CHEMICAL weathering process, not a PHYSICAL one. So this is a bad choice.
A dry environment because in the absence of water oxidation is the dominant weathering process.
* Water speeds up oxidation quite a bit. And since the observed oxidation is thick, there's been quite a bit of weathering. So this is a bad choice.</span>
