Answer:
Abrasion
Explanation:
Mechanical weathering is generally called physical weathering where rocks are broken down physically. It means that the rocks are broken down into smaller pieces but the rocks' composition (chemically) is not changed.
There are different ways that rocks can be broken into smaller pieces physically and gravity helps can also cause it.
Abrasion is an example of mechanical weathering where rocks bump into each other and cause the rocks to breakdown because of the force of bumping into each other. Gravity plays a role when it comes to rocks on the mountain side.
When a rock on top tumbles down the side of the mountain, it bumps into other rocks along the way. Gravity is at play here because it pulls the rock downwards, causing it to tumble.

The geographic position of Australia on earth's surface has been changing mainly because tectonic earth movements and long term changes in sea level, most of its topography is a result of prolonged erosion by wind and water.
The surface area of a cell is approximated by the surface area of a sphere, given by the expression, 4πr². The volume of the spherical cell is given by the expression, 4πr³/3. The ratio between surface area and volume turn out to be, 1:r/3, or 3:r. This indicates that the SA/volume ratio is inversely related to the radius of the cell. Greater the radius, lower the ratio. Higher ratios are present in the prokaryotic cells This enables them to exchange food and water from their environment by the simple process of osmosis and diffusion. Eukaryotes have a larger cell radius and size. Thus, eukaryotes find it harder to exchange food and water by simple diffusion, rather they have specialised organelle present in the cell that actively transport food and water into the cell. These specialised organelles help the cell avoid the problem due to small SA/volume ratio.
Answer:
mineral -
This is any element or inorganic compound. It is a naturally occuring solid chemical compound found in pure form. It is commonly found within rocks.
metal -
an element known for is lustrous, opaque, and malleable properties. Metals are good conductor of heat and electricity.
ore -
This is a natural rock from which minerals, elements or metals can be extracted through mining.
alloy -
An alloy is a group of metals or metals that have one or more other elements. Take for example, red gold is a combination of gold and copper while white gold is a combination of silver and gold.
