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.

An aqueous KNO3 solution is made using 76.6 g of KNO3 diluted to a total solution volume of 1.84 L. (Assume a density of 1.05 g/
defon

Answer:

The answer to your question is Molarity = 0.41

Explanation:

Data

mass of KNO₃ = 76.6 g

volume = 1.84 l

density = 1.05 g/ml

Process

1.- Calculate the molecular mass of KNO₃

molecular mass = 39 + 14 + (16 x 3) = 101 g

2.- Calculate the number of moles

                      101 g of KNO₃  --------------- 1 mol

                       76.6 g of KNO₃ ------------  x

                        x = (76.6 x 1) / 101

                        x = 0.76 moles

3.- Calculate molarity

Molarity = \frac{number of moles}{volume}

Substitution

Molarity = \frac{0.76}{1.84}

Result

Molarity = 0.41

Q1: Erosion and weathering are often confused. How is erosion different from weathering? Give an example of each.
stepan [7]

Explanation:

1.

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils whereas erosion is the movement of weathered materials from one area to the other.

Erosion moves weathered materials and it causes them to change position. For example loose chips of rocks broken down as the rock weakens through alternate wetting and drying in tropical regions will remain in-situ until the agents of erosion comes to carry them away. The breaking is weathering and the carrying is erosion.

2.

Examples of mechanical weathering:

  •   Frost action
  •   Pressure release

Examples of chemical weathering:

  • Oxidation
  • Carbonation

There are two types of weathering:

  • In mechanical weathering, a rock disintegrates into smaller chunks by the action of wind, water and glacier. For example in temperate and polar regions, water within rocks freezes. When water freezes it expands and causes tension within the rock. When temperature drops, water melts and the tension is relieved. This process causes a rock to crack. The crack will eventually become wider with time.
  • In chemical weathering, a rock decomposes by the action of chemicals formed in the rock. In karst regions where limestone forms, combination of rain water and carbon dioxide forms weak carbonic acid that reacts with calcite in limestone.
