Answer:
Nutrient
Explanation:
Ecology can be defined as the scientific study of the relationship between living organisms such as plants and animals in relation to their physical and biological environment.
Nutrient inputs to the system come from weathering of rocks, from windblown dust, and from precipitation, which can carry material great distances. Various amount of nutrients are transported or transfered from terrestrial ecosystems through erosion and then deposited in aquatic ecosystems such as oceans, seas, and associated lowlands.
Erosion can be defined as a geological process which typically involves the wearing out of earthen (soil) materials and the transportation of these materials by natural forces like water, wind, etc. Soil erosion is greatest when the soil is steep.
Weathering can be defined as the physical and chemical breakdown of rock into smaller pieces called sediment. Weathering can be classified into two categories namely;
I. Physical weathering : it is the process of breaking rocks into pieces without affecting its chemical composition e.g temperature, abrasion and frost action.
II. Chemical weathering : it is the process of breaking rocks into pieces by chemical action which leads to changes in its chemical composition e.g carbonation, hydration, plant acid and oxidation.

Explanation:
The fossil records are beneficial in giving us. wide range of knowledge about fossils but sometimes these records are flawed, in that they are incomplete or misleading.
Many of the fossil records available are incomplete because some animals tend to decay within a short period of time due to their soft tissue. Also some are destroyed due to the movement of tectonic plates over time.
Another flaw scientists encounter is that there are no fossils which illustrate or represent the orderly transition from one organism to another. Fossils generally do not support the Darwinian theory of evolution as no evidence is found of ordered, sequential transition from simple to complex life forms as postulated.
These flaws are significant because they influence our knowledge and understanding of life forms and evolution.

Answer:
C. Critical period.
Explanation:
Critical period:
In developmental biology, ciritical period is also known as sensitive period which is defined as a period or stage of maturation in the organism's lifespan in which nervous system is more sensitive to various environmental stimulus. Means, brain cell connections are more receptive to influence from surrounding environmental factors. Our body's many cruical functions including behavior are established during critical period with irreversible impact.
