<em>B. thermal stress</em>

Rocks are weakening due to alternate expansion and contraction of the rocks. Rocks are expanded when it undergoes the high temperature, then it becomes expanded due to distance between the particles which are distant to each other. If winter season comes, rocks undergoes the low temperature then it becomes contracted due to distance between the particles are close to each other. Exfoliation is the one type of mechanical weathering and Halocasty is the one of the physical weathering process.

Place A = 2500 m = 20°C

Place B = 1500 m = ? °C

First of all, we know that <em>the air temperature decreases with 6°C at every 1000 m.</em>

So, now it is easy to find the temperature from place B.

If in place A, at 2500 m is 20°C, then at place B the temperature will be with 6°C lower.

Explain what an Historian, Archaeologist and Geographer do in their jobs.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Archaeology is the study of human activity in the past, primarily through the recovery and analysis of the material culture and environmental data that has been left behind by past human populations, which includes artifactss, architecture, biofacts and cultural landscapes . Because archaeology employs a wide range of different procedures, it can be considered to be both a social science and a humanity and in the U.S, it is thought of as a branch of anthropology although in Europe it is viewed as a separate discipline.  
A historian<span> is a person who studies and writes about the past and is regarded as an authority on it.</span><span> Historians are concerned with the continuous, methodical narrative and research of past events as relating to the human race; as well as the study of all history in time. If the individual is concerned with events preceding written history, the individual is a historian of prehistory</span><span>. Although "historian" can be used to describe amateur and professional historians alike, it is reserved more recently for those who have acquired graduate degrees</span><span> in the discipline. Some historians, though, are recognized by publications or training and experience.</span><span> "Historian" became a professional occupation in the late nineteenth century as research universities were emerging in Germany and elsewhere.

Geographers study the earth and its land, features, and inhabitants. They also examine phenomena such as political or cultural structures as they relate to geography. They study the physical and human geographic characteristics of a region, ranging in scale from local to global.
