Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down into smaller particles as a result of physical and chemical changes that are occurring in them. There are three major types of weathering these are: physical, chemical and biological weathering.
For the question given above, the type of weathering that is occurring in the picture of the given rock is PHYSICAL WEATHERING.
Physical weathering is the type of weathering in which the affected rock is changed in size and shape by means of some agents. The broken particles are usually of the same composition as the parent rock. The agents of physical weathering include: ice, plant roots, animal activities, abrasion and exfoliation. Physically weathered rocks are usually round in shape as a result of the abrasion process which they have undergone.

While states have been relatively effective in stopping ______, they have been less successful at stopping ______.

Firlakuza [10]

While states have been relatively effective in stopping The depletion of the ozone layer they have been less successful at stopping Global climate change.

Countries all across the globe decided to stop using ozone-diminishing compounds in order to protect the ozone layer from depleting.

The Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer in 1985 and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer in 1987 formalized this accord.

Ozone shields the Earth from the Sun's damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Life on Earth would be extremely difficult without the Ozone layer in the atmosphere.

Plants and planktons, which provide sustenance for the majority of ocean life, cannot survive and thrive in high UV exposure.
