Answer:
D. Thermal expansion
Explanation:
MECHANICAL WEATHERING
can be defined as the gradual disintegration of rock into smaller particles which later turn into soil. when mechanical weathering occurs, it doesn't change the chemical composition of the rock. mechanical weathering are caused by abrasion by ice water, thermal expansion, root of trees growing on the rock.
THERMAL EXPANSION
This is a mechanical process of weathering. during the day when there is high temperature and hits the rock surface, the rock absorbs heat expands . at night when the temperature drops the rock contrast. Repeated action of expansion and contraction results in gradual breakdown of rock to form soil.
The trees that are most likely to avoid extinction in such an environment
have seeds that are easily dispersed by wind or animals .
Trees which are easily dispersed by wind or animals have a very high chance of survival because the seeds dispersed will grow to form trees and if there is death of some they will still be present due to the continuous seed dispersal.
This is the main reason why the seeds with more dispersal means will not
become extinct.
