Explanation:

the rate of weathering is not the same for all rocks. Factors such as surface area, rock composition, and location influence the rate of weathering. water, the faster the rock will break down. A greater surface area allows chemical weathering to affect more of a rock.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Mammalian dentition is characterized by heterodonty, in which both the upper and lower teeth are differentiated morphologically into four types: flat, chisel-shaped incisors, conical canines, bicuspid premolars and multicuspid molars in the mesiodistal direction.

Explanation:.

The mesiodistal crown:dimension is the smallest of any maxillary teeth.The mesiodistal measurement of the pulp chamber is wider compared to the labiopalatal one. The periphery of the socket often dips down palatally, labially, mesially and distally to accommodate the shape of the root.

Maxillary central incisor:The general shape is similar to maxillary central incisor except that they are shorter and narrower. It has the most cervically located contact area of any incisor. The mesioincisal and distoincisal angles are more rounded than the corresponding angles of maxillary central incisor.

Permanent mandibular central incisor:The crown dimensions are the smallest of any tooth, it has bilaterally symmetrical crown, and the line angles are the sharpest of any tooth.It shows the shallowest labial developmental grooves, smoothest lingual surface contour and the least developed cingulum.

Answer:

The correct answer is - T4, and T3.

Explanation:

The Thyroid glands are butterfly shape glands madeup of microscopic spherical structures known as thyroid follicles made up of cuboidal follicular cells. These cells produces the both major hormones of thyroid gland T4, and T3.

The majority of thyroid hormones are produced as T4 hormones approximately 80% but a small amount of 20% is released in the form of T3 hormones. However, the most active form of the thyroid hormone is T3 and to act on target cells, one iodine molecule have to be removed to convert T4 to T3.
