Weathering: Weathering occurs in situ (on site, with little or no movement), and should not be confused with erosion, which involves the transport of rocks and minerals by agents such as water, ice, snow, wind, waves and gravity. Weathering processes are divided into physical and chemical weathering.

erosion: Erosion happens when rocks and sediments are picked up and moved to another place by ice, water, wind or gravity. Mechanical weathering physically breaks up rock. One example is called frost action or frost shattering. ... The sediment is dropped, or deposited, in landforms.

deposition: Deposition is the processes where material being transported by a river is deposited. Deposition occurs when a river loses energy. This can be when a river enters a shallow area (this coud be when it floods and comes into contact with the flood plain) or towards its mouth where it meets another body of water.

b. In 1979, the estimated elephant population was 1.3 million and in 2007 it was 640,000. By approximately what percentage did t

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The initial amount, 1.3 million = 1,300,000 is the 100%.

now, 640,000 is a given percentage (lower than 100%) of that.

How we can find it?

suppose that 640,000 represents an x%.

Then we have that the quotient between the actual quantities and the percentages must be the same

(640,000/1,300,000) = x%/100%

x% = (640,000/1,300,000)*100% = 49.23%

Then the percentage declined is:

100% - 49.23% = 50.77%

The other question can not be answered with the given information.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-E

Explanation:

The soft cheese like Camembert, blue cheese and feta cheese are prepared from the unpasteurised milk.

Since the milk is not pasteurized therefore there are higher chances that the prepared cheese will have the micro-organism which could be lethal to humans like Listeria. Listeria is a bacteria which gets killed during the pasteurization process.

The pregnant woman should avoid eating the soft cheese as the cheese could contain the harmful bacteria like listeria which once ingested can enter the placenta and can kill the unborn babies or preterm delivery.

Thus, option-E is the correct answer.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Allele G represents the strong jaw, and allele g represents the weak jaw. This is because as the generations go by, allele G’s population increases, but allele g’s population decreases. If hard shelled animals are the only foods available to them, you would need a strong jaw to eat them. This means that allele g wouldn’t be able to eat these reptiles, so their population would decrease from lack of food.
