The statement that weathering occurs as a result of direct contact with the atmosphere is true. Weathering is a process by which rocks are broken down by direct contact with the atmosphere which is caused by exposure to heat, ice, and elements in the atmosphere. Two type of weathering are: Physical and Chemical weathering.Physical weathering occurs when rocks, soil, or minerals are broken down through mechanical means.Chemical weathering occurs when rocks, soil, or minerals are broken down through reactions with chemicals that are in the air or are biologically introduced.
Answer:
floods, tornadoes, tsunami, storm
An object moving in a circle is accelerating, even if it moves with a constant speed because the velocity changes.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The direction of an object changes constantly during its movement in circle at a constant speed. As the direction changes it results in changing the velocity of that object. This happens since velocity has direction and magnitude.as it is vector quantity.
An object will have acceleration only if a resultant force is acting on that body. When an object is moving in a circle, this resultant force is the centripetal force that is acting towards the center of the circle.
B a hurricane, because it’s a naturally occurring event
