<h3><u>
The following events are identified as chemical weathering:</u></h3>
- The minerals in a marble statue react with water to form acids and pores in the structure.
- The rocks in a region are streaked orange after being exposed to repeated rains.
<em><u>Reason: </u></em>
When the weathering process occurs due to <em>chemical reaction</em>, then it is considered as chemical weathering.
In <em>the first case</em>, minerals of marble statue are <em>reacting</em> with water to cause weathering. In the <em>second case</em>, due to the <em>acidificaion reaction</em>, the change of the color has happened after exposure to the repeated rains.
<h3><u>
The following events are identified as Mechanical weathering:</u></h3>
- A piece of rock crumbles after being constantly thrashed by strong waves.
- Industrial runoff forms cracks in a rocky structure in its path.
<em><u>Reason:</u></em>
When the rock is broken into simple pieces <em>without any chemical reaction </em>it is considered as mechanical weathering.
In the <em>first cause</em>, due to the <em>abrasion</em> caused by the strong waves, weathering has happened, in the <em>second case</em> industrial run off may be of varying temperature and thus may cause <em>heating or cooling</em> of the rock and causes weathering.
Answer:
A cladogram is a diagram used to represent a hypothetical relationship between groups of animals, called a phylogeny. A cladogram is used by a scientist studying phylogenetic systematics to visualize the groups of organisms being compared, how they are related, and their most common ancestors.
Answer:
Abiotic
Explanation: Water is not a living thing, therefore water is an abiotic factor.
I think it's the evaporation of water through the stomata :)
