Answer:

Abrasion

Explanation:

Mechanical weathering is generally called physical weathering where rocks are broken down physically. It means that the rocks are broken down into smaller pieces but the rocks' composition (chemically) is  not changed.

There are different ways that rocks can be broken into smaller pieces physically and gravity helps can also cause it.

Abrasion is an example of mechanical weathering where rocks bump into each other and cause the rocks to breakdown because of the force of bumping into each other. Gravity plays a role when it comes to rocks on the mountain side.

When a rock on top tumbles down the side of the mountain, it bumps into other rocks along the way. Gravity is at play here because it pulls the rock downwards, causing it to tumble.

Answer:

 A symbiotic relationship is the one where the interaction of different types of species takes place. The two species remain in close proximity. The relationship can be either harmful, or beneficial for both of the species. Commensalism, parasitism and mutualism are the examples of the symbiotic relationship. In commensalism, the two species lives in close association and one species receives the benefit and the other receives no harm and benefit. In parasitism, the two species lives in close association, in this one species receives the benefit and cause harm to the other species. In mutualism, the two species lives in close association, in this both species receives the benefit of association.
