Compare and Contrast weathering and erosion.

2 answers:

6 0

Weathering is the decomposition of rocks, soils and their minerals through direct contact with the Earth's atmosphere. Erosion is displacement of solids (soil, mud, rock and other particles) usually by the agents of currents such as, wind, water, or ice by downward or down-slope movement in response to gravity or by living organisms. Erosion occurs because of factors like wind, water, ice, human activities like deforestation etc. Weathering, on the other hand is caused by contact with the earth's atmosphere. These atmospheric conditions may be heat, pressure etc.

That's how they are different.

Erosion occurs because of factors like wind, water, ice, human activities like deforestation etc. Weathering, on the other hand is caused by contact with the earth's atmosphere. These atmospheric conditions may be heat, pressure etc. Movement: Erosion is caused by the movement of eroding agents while in weathering there is no movement. Weathering is caused when rocks come in contact with atmospheric conditions but there is no movement involved of either of the components. HOPE THIS HELPED

The complex structures of DNA and protein found in the cell nucleus are mitochondria. nucleoplasm. histones. nucleases. chromoso

mario62 [17]

Answer:

chromosomes

Explanation:

Genomics refers to the scientific study of genes (DNA) found in living organisms such as humans and animals.

A genome can be defined as the complete set of hereditary instructions that is typically found in the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

The complex structures of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and protein found in the cell nucleus are generally referred to as chromosomes.

In sexual reproduction, the chromosomes from parents are found in the cell nucleus and are comprised of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), histone proteins, etc. Thus, they are used to store genetic informations in living organisms.

Basically, the human somatic cell is made up of 46 chromosomes which are sub-divided into 22 pairs of autosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes (X and Y). An autosome is one of the numbered chromosome that is typically not a sex chromosome.

On the other hand, sex chromosomes (X and Y) are responsible for determining the gender or sex of living organisms such as humans.

PLS HELP ITS DUE TODAY

Answer:

BENEFITS:

The Descriptive investigation is used to describe a natural system when nothing or very little is known about the system. Like observing a new specimen in the microscope and describing it by observing the specimen.

A comparative analysis is used to compare two or more variable in nature by collecting data like observing the different colors of the rocks. It provides the data to show the similarity and dissimilarity of the population.

The Experimental investigation is used where experiments are performed to test and answer the scientific questions. The advantage is that data can be used as evidence for future research.

LIMITATIONS:

descriptive method of investigation

It cannot be used to correct variable or be used to determine causes and effect of the problem

experimental method of investigation

It might create an artificial situation that do not always represent the real life situation

comparative method of investigation

It is not easy to control other variables that might influence the study

Differentiate between active natural immunity and passive natural immunity?

Bingel [31]

Explanation:

A prominent difference between active and passive immunity is that active immunity is developed due to the production of antibodies in one's own body, while passive immunity is developed by antibodies that are produced outside and then introduced into the body.
