Answer: Plant growth, animal actions and pressure release

Explanation:

The weathering is a process of disintegration of rocks into small pieces and sediments. This is caused by chemical or physical agents.

Mechanical weathering is also called as physical weathering. It is caused by the physical activities on the surface of rocks. The following are the examples of mechanical weathering.

1. Plant growth: The plants which grows over the surface of rocks, their roots may penetrate the rocks which causes the disintegration or rocks.

2. Animal actions: The animals may exert their pressure over the surface of rocks. They may create burrows like rat or mice inside the rocks.

3. Pressure release: The rock which was under pressure, instantly if pressure released, the structure of rock will become unstable, this may lead to the disintegration of the rock.

Which class of compounds contains only carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen?
Likurg_2 [28]
<h2>Answer: </h2>

Nitrogen forms many thousands of organic compounds. Most of the known varieties may be regarded as derived from ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, cyanogen, and nitrous or nitric acid. The amines, amino acids, and amides, for example, are derived from or closely related to ammonia.

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

A carbohydrate has only Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen, with the hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio 2:1.

Examples are glucose C6H12O6 and table sugar C12H22O11

A protein is made of amino acids. Amino acids have an amino group which is −NH2.  

So without nitrogen atoms the compound cannot be a protein.

Nucleic acids are organic compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen but they also contains phosphorus and oxygen. They are made of smaller units called nucleotides.

So;

Simple Amines are the class of organic compounds that only contains Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen.

rutherford proposed that atoms have positive nuclei. which statement correctly describes the nucleus of an atom? the nucleus con
artcher [175]
The statement that correctly describes the nucleus of the atom is that most of the mass of an atom is located in the nucleus. The nucleus contains neutrons and protons. Rutherford reasoned that all of the atom's positively charged particles were contained in the nucleus and the negatively charged particles were scattered outside the nucleus. Both neutrons and protons are given a mass of one atomic mass unit or amu. Electrons have a mass many times smaller than 1 amu.
