What is an example of mechanical weathering by gravity

Biology
1 answer:
alina1380 [7]3 years ago
8 0

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.

If there is a logarithmic relationship between stimulus intensity and action potential frequency in sensory neurons, how much wi
frez [133]

Answer:

The action potential rate will be doubled

Explanation:

The logarithm of a number for a given base is the power to which the base must be raised to give the number. Logarithm of a number can be in different bases. The base of common logarithm is the base 10.

For example, logarithm of 1000 to base 10 is 3 because 10 raised to power 3 equals 1000

Log₁₀1000 = 3 since 10³ = 1000

Therefore, if there is a logarithmic relationship between stimulus intensity and action potential frequency in sensory neurons and the stimulus intensity increases by 100, the action potential rate will increase thus:

Log₁₀100 = 2

Therefore, the action potential rate will be doubled

What are the ten biomes, and what appears to be the most prominent biome in North America, South America, Asia, Africa, Australi
NikAS [45]
Well, the ten biomes are:
Tropical Rainforests, Sub-tropical rainforests, savanna, tundra, arctic, boreal forests, conniferous forests, mediterrean, grassland, and desert. I'm doing this off the top of my head, but I know that Africa is mostly savanna. South America is mostly rainforest and Austrailia is mostly desert. The poles North/South are mostly frozen and tundras are the closest lands outside the arctic/anarctic circles. Other places will have a variety of biomes.
Hope this helps!
