<h3><u>
The following events are identified as chemical weathering:</u></h3>
- The minerals in a marble statue react with water to form acids and pores in the structure.
- The rocks in a region are streaked orange after being exposed to repeated rains.
<em><u>Reason: </u></em>
When the weathering process occurs due to <em>chemical reaction</em>, then it is considered as chemical weathering.
In <em>the first case</em>, minerals of marble statue are <em>reacting</em> with water to cause weathering. In the <em>second case</em>, due to the <em>acidificaion reaction</em>, the change of the color has happened after exposure to the repeated rains.
<h3><u>
The following events are identified as Mechanical weathering:</u></h3>
- A piece of rock crumbles after being constantly thrashed by strong waves.
- Industrial runoff forms cracks in a rocky structure in its path.
<em><u>Reason:</u></em>
When the rock is broken into simple pieces <em>without any chemical reaction </em>it is considered as mechanical weathering.
In the <em>first cause</em>, due to the <em>abrasion</em> caused by the strong waves, weathering has happened, in the <em>second case</em> industrial run off may be of varying temperature and thus may cause <em>heating or cooling</em> of the rock and causes weathering.
<span>Parents can pass on chromosomes to their children that are different than their own when the new gene combinations are created by crossing over. The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes is known as crossing over which occurs in meiosis. When homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange different segments of the genetic material. As the result, a new combination of genes will be formed. If there was not crossing over, all genes on a chromosome would be inherited together.</span>
Answer:
yes but it can also affect humans like tornadoes destroying homes?
<h2>Fixation</h2>
Nitrogen in its gaseous form (N2) can’t be used by most living things. It has to be converted or ‘fixed’ to a more usable form through a process called fixation. There are three ways nitrogen can be fixed to be useful for living things:
<h3>Biologically: </h3>
Nitrogen gas (N2) diffuses into the soil from the atmosphere, and species of bacteria convert this nitrogen to ammonium ions (NH4+), which can be used by plants. Legumes (such as clover and lupins) are often grown by farmers because they have nodules on their roots that contain nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
<h3>Through lightning: </h3>
Lightning converts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia and nitrate (NO3) that enter soil with rainfall.
I think under the influence of Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), more concentrated urine is produced. Antidiuretic hormone also called vasopressin acts to maintain blood pressure, blood volume and tissue water content by controlling the amount of water and hence the concentration of urine excreted by the kidney increases. It also helps to control blood pressure by acting on the kidneys and the blood vessels.
