Answer:

D. Thermal expansion

Explanation:

MECHANICAL WEATHERING

can be defined as the gradual disintegration of rock into smaller particles which later turn into soil. when mechanical weathering occurs, it doesn't change the chemical composition of the rock. mechanical weathering are caused by abrasion by ice water, thermal expansion, root of trees growing on the rock.

THERMAL EXPANSION

This is a mechanical process of weathering. during the day when there is high temperature and hits the rock surface, the rock absorbs heat expands . at night when the temperature drops the rock contrast. Repeated action of expansion and contraction results in gradual breakdown of rock to form soil.

ANSWER: MITRAL VALVE STENOSIS

EXPLANATION:

The child have the risk of having MITRAL VALVE STENOSIS. It is also referred to as mitral stenosis.

Mitral valve stenosis occurs as results of the mitral valve opening narrowing. Which effect to less blood flowing through it.

The mitral valve is located between two chambers (the atrium and the ventricle) on the left side of your heart.

Nevertheless, this cardiac complication have treatment and it is based on whether the affected individuals shows symptoms. Medications like blood thinners or anticoagulants (to reduce the risk of blood clots), diuretics, antiarrhythmics (to cure abnormal heart rhythms), beta-blockers (to slow your heart) etc, are being administered based on the level of the complication.
