Weathering therefore occurs more slowly in granite than in layered sedimentary rocks. ... High temperatures and greater rainfall increase the rate of chemical weathering. 2. Rocks in tropical regions exposed to abundant rainfall and hot temperatures weather much faster than similar rocks residing in cold, dry regions!

Water is a major contribution to weathering. In a dry place, there will be not as much water to erode away small pieces of rocks, rust certain objects, or seep into the cracks of rocks to freeze and expand. Also, molecules in the air move much slower when the temperature is cold compared to when it is warm.

Which is a difference between bacteria and viruses that showed that bacteria are living organisms and viruses are not?
Zigmanuir [339]
The difference between bacteria and viruses that show bacteria are living and not viruses is that viruses, unlike bacteria, lack what is considered a living organism. For Example, viruses cannot reproduce without the help of a host, and don't use the normal way of cell-division for replication. Unlike bacteria, which can reproduce without the aid of a host.

So basically viruses don't have what it need to be a living organism, like reproducing without and host and aren't in the norm for cell-division for replication.

AveGali [126]
The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.
