Geography
1 answer:
Zinaida [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

1- Option (C)

2- TRUE

3- FALSE

Explanation:

Joints are the type of fracture that splits the rock into two parts thereby the blocks move away from one another. They are formed due to the tensional force. Whereas, the fault, in simple terms is defined as the cracks or fractures present in the crust of the earth. They are formed by both tensional as well as compressional forces. They differ from one another in terms of displacement. In a fault, the relative displacement between the blocks is more than in the case of joints.

According to the law of cross-cutting relationships, geological features such as faults, igneous intrusions, that cuts across the sedimentary layers on earth are younger than those sedimentary rocks.

A neutron is a neutral particle as it does not carry any kind of electric charge. So, the addition or elimination of neutron from the nucleus does not affect the electric charge of the nucleus. But it can cause changes in the mass within the nucleus. Isotopes originate due to the addition or removal of neutrons from a nucleus.

Hence, the correct answers are given above.

Which of the following is an example of biological weathering?
vaieri [72.5K]
Biological weathering is caused by living organisms, such as microbes, animals, and plants. Water, oxygen, and rocks are nonliving things (though water and rocks may be capable of weathering), and only plant roots fits the definition of biological weathering. So the correct answer for #1 is A.

Frost wedging occurs when the little water content in rock freezes, expanding and forcing the rock apart. Eventually, enough freeze-melt cycles causes the rock to break apart little by little. This is due to ice's density being less than that of water, meaning that it is because water expands when frozen. So the answer to #2 is A.
