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.

algol [13]

Answer:

- Oak trees: primary producers

- Caterpillars: primary consumers

- Blue Jays: secondary consumers

- Hawks: tertiary consumers

Explanation:

A trophic pyramid, also known as ecological pyramid or energy pyramid, is a graphic representation that shows the relationships between different types of organisms (i.e., producers and consumers) at the trophic levels of an ecosystem. The primary producers are autotrophic organisms that obtain energy from sunlight and chemical compounds from nonliving sources (e.g., photosynthetic plants, algae, etc). The primary consumers are organisms that eat primary producers (e.g., herbivores), while secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers (e.g., omnivores). Moreover, tertiary consumers are predators and/or omnivores that eat secondary consumers (e.g., hawks). Finally, decomposers (e.g., bacteria) are organisms that obtain nutrients and energy by breaking down dead organic material (i.e., dead organisms) at all trophic levels into nutrients.

You are building a lego model of DNA. So far you decided. . . A red lego will represent adenine (A). A green lego will represent
Monica [59]
My teacher always taught me the saying "(A)pples on (T)rees, (C)ars in (G)arrages, meaning that A always went with T and C always goes with G

When that applies here, 30 Red, or Adenine legos would go with 30 Thymine legos, which is the color orange

30 reds would go with 30 oranges in this case
