Answer:

B. Minerals in rocks heat and expand at different rates, which causes rocks to break.

Explanation:

Weathering is the process of transformation and wear of rocks and soils, through chemical, physical and biological processes. Its dynamics happens through the action of so-called exogenous or external agents of transformation of relief, such as water, wind, temperature and living beings.

Temperature is a factor that causes the physical wear and tear of rocks through the action of the sun. In this process, the minerals in the rocks heat up and expand at different rates, which causes the rocks to break.

The heat of the Sun reduces the amplitude of the relief as climatic mechanisms cause mechanical and chemical transformations, translated into weathering processes, which form new minerals and break up rocks, and erosion and sedimentation, which sculpt and mold new forms of relief.

Which of the following is the best description of an adoption

Shtirlitz [24]

Hello, hope this helps you out i just stated a few things i know about adoption, let me know if you need any more detail and information. :P

So basically, Adoption is a process where a person assumes the parenting of another, usually a child, sometimes can be a teen, from that person's biological or legal parent or parents, and, in so doing, permanently transfers all rights and responsibilities, along with filiation, from the biological parent or parents. Unlike guardianship or other systems designed for the care of the young, adoption is intended to effect a permanent change in status.

Hope i have helped you out a little, pm me if you need any more details or information.

Describe what molecular biologists mean by an rna world

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The RNA world is the hypothesized format of chemical life that existed prior to our current DNA and RNA world. In the RNA world, RNA molecules formed in the primordial soup and began to evolve by self-replication and mutation. This led to increased complexity, natural selection of "better" RNA and diversification of RNA based life.
