Answer:Why does weathering cause erosion

Explanation:Organic weathering happens when plants break up rocks with their growing roots or plant acids help dissolve rock. Once the rock has been weakened and broken up by weathering it is ready for erosion. Erosion happens when rocks and sediments are picked up and moved to another place by ice, water, wind or gravity.

Temperature.

Changes in temperature caused by the Sun heating up a rock can cause the rock to expand and break. This can cause pieces to fall apart over time and lead to erosion.

aksik [14]

The Intermolecular force is a type of force which exists between particles in an Ideal gas.

<h3>What  type of force which exists between particles in an Ideal gas?</h3>

Intermolecular forces are considered weaker attractions that hold molecules in gas close together. This force of attraction is present between molecules or particles.

So we can conclude that the Intermolecular force is a type of force which exists between particles in an Ideal gas.

Determine how many ml of water you need to remove, by evaporation, if you have a 500 ml of 10.20 M HNO3 dilute solution and you
Ludmilka [50]

The total volume of water that would be removed will be 75 mL

<h3>Dilution equation</h3>

Using the dilution equation:

M1V1 = M2V2

In this case, M1 = 500 mL, V1 = 10.20 M, M2 = 12 M

Substitute:

V2 = 500 x 10.20/12

         = 425 mL

The final volume in order to arrive at 12 M HNO3 would be 425 mL from the initial 500 mL. Thus, the total amount of water that will be removed by evaporation can be calculated as:

500 - 425 = 75 mL

You’ve been waiting for the bus and your hands become cold. When you get onto the bus and sit down, you put your hands under you
snow_tiger [21]

Explanation:

The <u>First Law of Thermodynamics</u> states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. In other words, energy can be converted from one form into another, but it cannot be created nor destroyed.

<u>Conduction</u> is the transfer of energy from one molecule to another by direct contact. This transfer occurs when molecules hit against each other, which can take place in solids, liquids, and gases.

When you put your cold hands under your legs to warm your hands up, the heat energy from your legs is being transferred to your hands through conduction. However, since energy cannot be created, there is no extra heat energy that can instantaneously replace the heat created by your legs.

How can chemical weathering contribute to physical weathering?
lora16 [44]

A-leads to the abrasion of rocks and minerals

A-dense vegetation cover

True

Explanation:

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.

Agent of weathering are wind, water and glacier.

Chemical weathering contributes to physical weathering in that it leads to the abrasion of rocks and minerals.

During chemical weathering, a rock chemically combines with materials in the environment and weakens it.

When physical weathering processes are induced, grains produced independently weakening of bonds in rocks grind against one another and wears each other off.

An area with a dense vegetation cover undergoes rapid chemical weathering:

  • Plant roots penetrates deep into the rock and increases the surface area of chemical action.
  • Plants produce chemicals that combines with rocks and causes them to decay.
  • Since the area is always moist, chemical action becomes more severe.

Buildings and statues made of stone are subjected to the same degree of weathering as rocks exposed naturally.

This is true.

Statues and buildings weather just like rocks we find in nature.

It is the same sunshine and rain that impacts rocks that also impacts buildings and statues.

So they degrade at the same rate except they are protected.
