Explanation:

Weathering is a natural process of break down of rocks or minerals into sub-parts, sediments and others. The two broad categories of weathering which are responsible for breaking down of rock/minerals are:

1. Physical and mechanical weathering: It refers to the process by which the rocks are broken down into sub-parts. This process does not alter the chemical composition of the rocks. The agents such as temperature, pressure, and others.

2. Chemical weathering: It refers to the process by which the rocks are subjected to chemical treatment such as hydrolysis, oxidation, and carbonation. These treatments brings change in the chemical composition of the rocks which further causes the disintegration of rocks.

Why do most people in japan live in the plains and lowlands ?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

hi, here's ur answer

Explanation:

Most of Japan's people live on plains and lowlands found mainly along the lower courses of the country's major rivers, on the lowest slopes of mountain ranges, and along the sea coast. This concentration of people makes Japan one of the world's most crowded countries. Densities are especially high in the urban corridor between Tokyo and Kobe, where 45 percent of the country's population is packed into only 17 percent of its land area. An ethnically and culturally homogeneous nation, Japan has only a few small minority groups and just one major language Japanese.
