The rate of chemical weathering is controlled by such things as the temperature, the amount of rainfall and the surface area of the minerals which constitute the rocks. Rocks with a finer grain size have more surface area than coarse-grained rocks so are more susceptible to chemical weathering, like a volcanic rock compared to a granite, say. With higher temperatures and greater rainfall, chemical reactions in the rocks are facilitated and this is why, for example argillic (clay alteration) alteration is so well developed in the tropics (in El Salvador for example and also why the lateritic soils develop in countries like Indonesia and can contain economic amounts of nickel for exampl) . A factor which controls the rate of physical weathering could be the development of glaciers which transport rocks in their bed, which shapes these boulders and also scores the rocky surfaces these scrape over as the glacier moves. Alternate freezing and thawing in the spring time in the northern hemisphere can speed up the breakdown of the rock by cracking it or opening up pre-existing joints and faults.
and also the surface area of the minerals being attacked.
Answer:
Poor recycling habits - recycling is a very important activity for sustainable development, because it reduces the amount of goods that have to be produced, and it contributes to the dematerialization of the economy. If a family does not recycle properly, or does not recycle at all, that family is hindering sustainable development.
Showers that are too long - very long showers do not help sustainable development because they are a waste of water. If the shower is warm or hot, the problem is worse because there is also excessive consumption of electricity or gas.
Too much use of heating or air conditioning - air conditioning and heating should only be used when absolutely necessary (when it is too hot or too cold). If these two systems are used without care, a huge amount of energy will be used, which will not only be reflected in the utility bill, but also in the Earth's resources.
The correct answer is - d. deciduous forest.
The giant panda lives in the deciduous forested parts of China were the climate is temperate, wet, moisty, and most importantly covered in bamboo trees. The bamboo tree is the only food source of the giant pandas, and it is essential for their survival. Unlike the other bears the giant panda is not an omnivore, and in its evolution due to a genetic mutation it lost its taste for meat and became exclusively a bamboo eater. It is on the verge of extinction nowadays and strict measures are needed for this lovely animal to be protected and preserved.
