plant growth

animal actions

pressure release

Explanation:

The causes of mechanical weathering of rocks include plant growth, animal actions and pressure release. Acid rain and carbon dioxide leads to chemical weathering of rocks.

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soil.

  • Mechanical weathering is also known as physical rock weathering.
  • In this type of weathering huge masses of rocks are broken down into tiny pieces.
  • When plant grows on rocks, their roots penetrates through cracks in the rock and can disintegrate it.
  • Some animals burrow and bore deep into rocks.
  • When a rock mass is lifted from the top of another, pressure release leads to the formation of exfoliation in which a rock resembles an onion peel.

Which molecule prevents a muscle contraction from occurring when the muscle is at rest?
AysviL [449]

Troponin-tropomyosin molecules prevents a muscle contraction from occurring when the muscle is at rest.

<h3>What is muscle contraction?</h3>

The activation of tension-producing regions within muscle cells results in muscular contraction. Because muscle tension can be created without changes in muscle length, such as when holding something heavy in the same position, muscle contraction does not always imply muscle shortening in physiology. Muscle relaxation, or the return of the muscular fibers to their low tension-generating state, occurs after a muscle contraction has finished.

Both length and tension can be used to characterize muscle contractions. If the muscle tension varies but the muscle length doesn't, the muscle contraction is said to be isometric. A muscle contraction is isotonic, however, if the tension in the muscle remains constant during the contraction.

The more extreme examples of the trait lead to the organisms being selected out, and the trait that is the least conspicuous wins out in the long-run.</span>
