High temperatures and greater rainfall increase the rate of chemical weathering. 2. Rocks in tropical regions exposed to abundant rainfall and hot temperatures weather much faster than similar rocks residing in cold, dry regions. ... Soils affect the rate in which a rock weathers.
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:  An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment, interacting as a system. These biotic and abiotic components are linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. Energy enters the system through photosynthesis and is incorporated into plant tissue. By feeding on plants and on one another, animals play an important role in the movement of matter and energy through the system. They also influence the quantity of plant and microbial biomass present. By breaking down dead organic matter, decomposers release carbon back to the atmosphere and facilitate nutrient cycling by converting nutrients stored in dead biomass back to a form that can be readily used by plants and other microbes.

Some species of penguins, such as chinstrap penguins, depend on open water for their survival. Other species of penguins, such as Adélie penguins, depend on ice. Over the last 20 years, the population size of chinstrap penguins has increased, and the population size of Adélie penguins has decreased. An increase in global air and water temperatures likely caused <span>these changes in population size.</span>
