7 0

Explanation:

Physical weathering is the disintegration of rocks into smaller chunks in nature.

Water is one of the agents that causes physical weathering.

  • during periods of low temperature especially the summer, water usually collects within rock cavities.
  • When temperature drops, the water freezes and expands.
  • Periodic freezing and thawing of ice leads to physical weathering.
  • Also, in tropical regions, alternate wetting and drying of rocks occur.

In fact, cardiac muscle is only found in the heart and makes up the bulk of the heart’s mass. The heart beats powerfully and continuously throughout an entire lifetime without any rest, so cardiac muscle has evolved to have incredibly high contractile strength and endurance. And because the heart maintains its own rhythm, cardiac muscle has developed the ability to quickly spread electrochemical signals so that all of the cells in the heart can contract together as a team....</span>
