Answer: Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone test would confirm secondary hypothyroidism.

Explanation:

The serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test involves the intravenous administration of a small amount of Thyroid Releasing Hormone (TRH) and the measurement of TSH levels at some points following the administration.

The first step involves collecting the blood sample of the patient and measuring the baseline TSH prior to the intravenous administration of TRH. Blood sample is drawn again 30 minutes after TRH administration, and TSH level is measured and compared to the baseline measurement.

If there is slight or no increase in serum TSH level following TRH administration, it is secondary hypothyroidism because the cause of the hypothyroidism is in the anterior pituitary gland. This means that the pituitary gland is not secreting TSH because it is diseased.

I need to know what physical weathering and chemical weathering is for a science project!
Oksana_A [137]
Ok ok no fret im here to help as best as i can :)
Weathering is a process that breaks down or changes rocks into smaller pieces. Various atmospheric aspects are responsible for weathering processes. Weathering is different from erosion. Erosion is the movement of rock pieces and sediment from one area to another. Weathering is the breaking down of rocks and erosion is a wearing away of rocks. There are two main types of weathering: physical (or mechanical) weathering and chemical weathering. Quite often, both forms of weathering will occur together

Physical weathering is also known as mechanical weathering. This type of weathering occurs when rocks and other landforms are broken down by physical factors in the environment. These physical factors include wind, water, sun, ice and temperature changes
