Answer:

Both physical and chemical weathering, along with erosion, can change Earth's surface as physical weathering allows breakdown of rock into smaller pieces, these pieces can be move from one place to another through water, wind or ice (erosion), and when the smaller pieces will settle down at a place, rain water can react with the soil or smaller rock pieces to form rock minerals.

For example: Running water, wind, and rapid heating/cooling allows the rocks to break down into smaller pieces or grains (physical weathering), then the small grains are transported and settled away from the source area through wind or river (erosion), and at the end the surface area exposed to air for chemical weathering.

Describe: Imagine a rock on a beach and a rock on the side of a mountain. How

Vesna [10]

Answer:

mountainside: temperature extremes have more influence
beach: wind and waves have more influence

Explanation:

It depends on what you mean by "factors that control weathering" and where the beach and mountain are located.

If we assume that the rock on the mountain is at a place that has seasonal snow, and the beach is in a temperate climate, then we can make these observations.

The rock on the mountainside will be "weathered" by freezing and thawing, and by plant growth (roots). These will tend to enlarge any cracks in the rock, breaking it apart. While the mountainside may be windy, that wind may not carry particles that would tend to erode the rock surface.

The rock on a beach will be most affected by wave and water action, tending to smooth any exposed surface. Freezing and thawing action is less common, due to the moderating influence of the water on the local weather. In some cases, plant growth may also be a factor. Wind may pick up beach sand, further tending to smooth any exposed surfaces.

Contemporary landscapes result from many causes, including variability in abiotic conditions, such as climate, topography, and soils; biotic interactions, such as competition, mutualism, herbivory, and predation, that can generate spatial pattern even when environmental conditions are homogenous; natural disturbances. I hope this helps :)

The answer is D. Offspring, because that is the product of this instinctual ritual, to keep their species continuing.

no they are not exercising for the fun of it

they are not making mating calls because they have the feet and have probably already met the female.

and no he isn't going to eat her
