How would the weathering of a bear mountain peak differ from the weathering of bedrock under a forest?

Geography
2 answers:
BlackZzzverrR [31]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

There is very little to no vegetation at the peaks of a mountain due to extreme cold from the high altitude. The main weathering form here is mechanical weathering  through freeze-thaw of ice at the peak.  

On the floor of a forest, the main weathering that takes place is chemical weathering. Organic acids released by plants and animals in their excretion and decay mainly weathers the rocks in a forest. These acids dissolve the rock minerals hence making the rocks porous and eventually crumbling them into soil.

The weathering of the mountain peak will be mostly through the influence of the wind, water, and ice, while the bedrock under a forest will be influenced by the plants.

Explanation:

The weathering is a process that occurs everywhere in the world, on the surface and close to the surface of the planet. This process is basically the breaking up of particles from larger masses of rocks. Which type of weathering will be dominant at a particular place depends n multiple factors, such as:

  • topography
  • vegetation
  • climate
  • presence/absence of water

A bear mountain peak will be exposed to strong winds. Also, the lack of vegetation will enable the water from the rainfall to have big influence, while in the colder months the formation of ice will contribute to significant weathering. On the other side, the bedrock under a forest will have minimal influence from wind, water, and ice, as the vegetation provides protection. The vegetation on the other hand, with its roots, as well as with the decomposition will manage to weather the rocks, both on the surface and inside the ground.

What three religions are in constant conflict over the land in the Middle East? Describe the claim of each.​
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are in constant conflict over the land in the Middle East.

Explanation:

The Middle East is a region that is important for many reasons, and one of them is religious importance. This area is actually the birthplace of three major religions, the so-called Abrahamic religions. The three religions that emrged in this region are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, in that order.

Judaism came first, and what is now Israel is considered as the holy land for this religion. Despite many attempts to forcefully removing the Jews from this area, some of them still managed to survive there and many more came back in the last century to reclaim what they consider as historically theirs.

Christianity emerged from Judaism. What is now Israel is also holy to it, and especially the city of Jerusalem. The claim of the Christians for this region is that their religion emerged there and its holy places have to be in their hands and no one else.

Islam came last, emerging from Christianity. Soon it became the dominant religion in the region through conquest and assimilation. It has been dominant in the area for over a milennium, so the claim is that it is historically theirs and since they managed to conquer the place it belongs to them.
