Ok ok no fret im here to help as best as i can :)
Weathering is a process that breaks down or changes rocks into smaller pieces. Various atmospheric aspects are responsible for weathering processes. Weathering is different from erosion. Erosion is the movement of rock pieces and sediment from one area to another. Weathering is the breaking down of rocks and erosion is a wearing away of rocks. There are two main types of weathering: physical (or mechanical) weathering and chemical weathering. Quite often, both forms of weathering will occur together

Physical weathering is also known as mechanical weathering. This type of weathering occurs when rocks and other landforms are broken down by physical factors in the environment. These physical factors include wind, water, sun, ice and temperature changes

These bones then amplify the sound vibrations and send them to the cochlea, a snail-shaped structure in the inner ear. The vibrations then cause the fluid inside the cochlea to ripple along the basilar membrane. This ripple stimulates the hair cells that sit on top of the basilar membrane.</span>

1. What is BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE?

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE is a method of naming and classification used for naming and classifying living organism in their respective taxa in accordance with their characteristics.
CARLOUS LINEOUS was the scientist who developed this system.
It is confusing to use common names because common names have no scientific basis and are of no use while naming organism also many organisms may have different common names in different areas of world.
Scientists use Latin or Greek language for naming and classification.
The first name in a scientific name is the genus name.
The second name in a scientific name is the specie name.
Genus is the bigger group as compared to specie.

Which of the following statements about minerals is false? A. Minerals reflect light in different ways. B. The color of a minera

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: B. The color of a mineral's powder doesn't change.

C. The densities of many minerals are quite similar.

D. A mineral can break in only one way.

A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic compound. It is a chemical compound that usually found in crystalline form. The color of the mineral's powder can change because of the oxidation or reduction of particles present in it. The density of many minerals cannot be same because all mineral particles exhibit different composition of atoms or molecules which are responsible for physical and chemical structure of minerals. Hence, minerals vary in density. A mineral can be broken down into many ways like fracture, cleavage and other methods.
