<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.

In what way are weak nuclear force and strong nuclear force alike
Nina [5.8K]
The strong force has a range of about the width of an atomic nucleus, and is responsible for binding protons and neutrons together. Like electromagnetic force, the nuclear forces are governed by gauge bosons.

How is the flow of energy within food webs interconnected with the cycling of<br> matter?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Dead producers and consumers and their waste products provide matter and energy to decomposers. Decomposers transform matter back into inorganic forms that can be recycled within the ecosystem. So, the energy that enters an ecosystem as sunlight eventually flows out of the ecosystem in the form of heat.

What are the charges both inside and outside of the neuron before you click the stimulate neuron button?
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The charges inside and outside of the neuron before receiving a stimulus are negative and positive, respectively, which corresponds to the transmembrane rest potential.

Explanation:

Neuron is the specialized cell of the nervous system in charge of transmitting electrical impulses. The generation of a nerve impulse in the form of an electric current is due to a change in the transmembrane potential.

<u>Outside the neuron cell, electrical charges are predominantly positive, and the ion with the highest concentration is sodium. In the intracellular space, a great quantity of proteins provide negative charge, and there is a predominance of potassium ions</u>. Under these conditions, the ionic channels are closed.

For this reason, a neuron at rest, before receiving a stimulus, presents positive charges on the outside and negative charges on the inside, and the membrane potential in this condition is estimated at a value of -65 mV.

Once a stimulus is produced, the ionic channels open and Na+ ions enter the cytoplasm, exchanging them for K+, which implies a change in the membrane potential which, on reaching the threshold, produces an action potential and the nerve impulse is produced.
