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.

In 1928, 47.5 g of a new element was isolated from 660 kg of the ore molybdenite. the percent by mass of this element in the ore

vitfil [10]

To take the percent by mass of this element, we use the formula:

% mass = (mass of element / mass of ore) * 100%

% mass = (47.5 g / (660 kg * 1000 g / kg)) * 100*

How do i solve number 36?

To cut this short and for your understanding, ionic bond is formed between metals (mostly right column in periodic table). Covalent bond is formed between non-metals (mostly left column in periodic table). So polar covalent is also a covalent bond but it is polar, which means the shape of molecules are not symmetrical hence maybe an atom in a molecule has most of the electron attracted to it causing itself to be partial negative (since electron are negatively charged) and the other atom has its electron being attracted by others became partial positive. Polar covalent can also be when H atom is binding either to F, O or N (also known as hydrogen bond).
