Answer:
Physical Weathering
Explanation:
As per the given conditions in the question, the primary effect is <u>mechanical action</u> which is also known as a <u>physical weathering</u>. During mechanical action, a rock is disintegrated into the smaller pieces. In the given statement, <u>the root of tree would grow in the crack and try to develop a strong network to get nutrients necessary for tha tree growth</u>. Thus, the <u>root would exert a pressure</u> in the crack to make more space for its growth and development (root network). This is primarily a mechanical action and an example of physical weathering.
C. Kilograms that’s the answer
The beginning of the Cambrian Period is marked by the evolution of hard body parts such as calcium carbonate shells. ... These body parts fossilize more easily than soft tissues, and thus the fossil record becomes much more complete after their appearance.
Biodiversity decreases, and the overall health of the ecosystem decreases.
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:</u>
In a niche when two different species occupy a niche competition arises between them. In due course both the species fight for existence and nature selects the best adaptable one to win. The other species either reduces in its population or gradually in struggle for existence they deteriorate and die.
Hence a decrease in bio diversity happens here due to natural selection. If the biodiversity is decreased in a particular niche it affects the growth of different species which in turn affect the whole ecosystem resulting in decrease of the overall health in an ecosystem.
