B. How does weathering affect Earth's surface?

Biology
1 answer:
Harman [31]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Weathering and erosion constantly change the rocky landscape of Earth. Weathering wears away exposed surfaces over time. The length of exposure often contributes to how vulnerable a rock is to weathering. Rocks, such as lavas, that are quickly buried beneath other rocks are less vulnerable to weathering and erosion than rocks that are exposed to agents such as wind and water.

Explanation:

Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and mineral away. No rock on Earth is hard enough to resist the forces of weathering and erosion. Together, these processes carved landmarks such as the Grand Canyon, in the U.S. state of Arizona. This massive canyon is 446 kilometers (277 miles) long, as much as 29 kilometers (18 miles) wide, and 1,600 meters (1 mile) deep.

Identify the types of point mutations depicted. glycine glycine missense mutation nonsense mutation silent mutation lysine stop
Lady_Fox [76]
Glycine glycine - Silent mutation.                                                                             Lysine stop; - Nonsense mutations.                                                                      Silent mutations are caused by a point mutation and have no effect of the function because they code for the same amino acid.                                                   Missense mutations are caused by a point mutation and result in a different amino acid to be placed in the protein. Nonsense mutations is caused by a point mutation and cause a stop where there should not be one. The Frame shift mutations on the other hand are caused by insertion or deletion of a nucleotide causing a reading frame to shift and the protein to be too long or too short.
