<u>Answer:</u>

The major type of weathering that takes place in a desert in Physical Weathering.

<u>Explanation:  </u>

Physical weathering also known as mechanical weathering takes place in deserts. This weathering takes place due to physical or mechanical forces. Frost chattering, temperature fluctuation also causes physical weathering.

In the desert, there is a fluctuation in temperature. In deserts, the temperature during the day will be very high and at night the temperature will be very low. As a result, the rocks expand during daytime due to heating and at night the rocks undergo contraction due to the reduction in temperature. Hence the rocks are weakened followed by the disintegration or breaking of rock.

In a certain population of wolves, a mutation takes place and several wolves
Valentin [98]

Answer:

According to the theory of evolution by natural selection wolves with mutations will outgrow the wolves without mutation.

Explanation:

Nature always poses challenges to the living organisms in various forms like climate change, food scarcity, natural disasters, etc. If an organism has a characteristic to survive better than the other, then they will be selected by the nature. We can also use the term fitness for this. Darwin also referred about this as reproductive fitness which means only those organisms which are fit in their environment produce more progeny and increase in number. s we can see that the introduction of mutation has added the advantage of being faster and stronger, so when it comes to competition for food the wolves with mutation can easily catch the predator than wolves without mutation. Since mutation has resulted in better adaptation to their environment they will outgrow in number.
