Answer:
A rock's exposure to the weathering elements and its surface area can affect its rate of weathering. Rocks that are constantly bombarded by running water, wind, and other erosion agents, will weather more quickly. Rocks that have a large surface area exposed to these agents will also weather more quickly.
Explanation:
Properties of the Parent Rock ;
- The mineralogy and structure of a rock affects it’s susceptibility to weathering.
- Different minerals weather at different rates. Mafic silicates like olivine and pyroxene tend to weather much faster than felsic minerals like quartz and feldspar. Different minerals show different degrees of solubility in water in that some minerals dissolve much more readily than others. Water dissolves calcite more readily than it does feldspar, so calcite is considered to be more soluble than feldspar.
-
A rock’s structure also affects its susceptibility to weathering. Massive rocks like granite generally to not contain planes of weakness whereas layered sedimentary rocks have bedding planes that can be easily pulled apart and infiltrated by water. Weathering therefore occurs more slowly in granite than in layered sedimentary rocks.
Answer:
12th May at 4.17 PM
Explanation:
This is because this is during the low tides and the low tide is at its lowest, at -0.7, m than any other date or time of the month. This means that most of the shoreline has receded deep into the ocean and exposed most of the continental shelf than any other time. This leaves rooms for more sea shells to be exposed and easily collected.
An element is also a pure substance. The reason for this is because an element contains only one type of particle.
Option A is correct
An enzyme is a catalysts in living things.
A catalysts speeds up the process of breaking down molecules.
An example would be Lactose. It can be broken down by the enzyme Lactase.
Answer:
C, basic contractile unit of muscle fiber.
Explanation:
If you read the definition of sarcomere, this is what it says: "<u>A sarcomere (Greek σάρξ sarx "flesh", μέρος meros "part") is the complicated unit of striated muscle tissue. It is the repeating unit between two Z lines. Skeletal muscles are composed of tubular muscle cells (myocytes called muscle fibers or myofibers) which are formed in a process known as myogenesis</u>."
