Weathering and erosion played a big role in forming the grand canyon. The rock was being weathered, most likely mechanical weathering, and then it eroded away. Think of a pebble that is in running water. When you pick it up, it is smooth, right. But before, it was pointy. So, the grand canyon was once a big rock, and weathering broke through it making it one of the wonders of the USA.
With less energy at higher trophic levels, there are usually fewer organisms as well. Organisms tend to be larger in size at higher trophic levels, but their smaller numbers result in less biomass. Biomass is the total mass of organisms at a trophic level.
Hope this helps! Please correct me if I'm wrong :)
The correct steps of endochondral ossification is:
- A periosteal bone collar develops.
- spongy bone and the medullary cavity form in the diaphysis.
- The diaphysis center is vascularized and osteoblasts deposit osteoid over calcified cartilage matrix.
- The epiphyseal center is vascularized and osteoblasts deposit osteoid over the calcified cartilage matrix.
- The spongy bone forms in epiphysis.
<h3>Which bones grow by endochondral ossification?</h3>
Long and short bones, such as the phalanges and femur, arise from a cartilage model formed by endochondral ossification. Distinguishing between these two types of osteogenesis does not imply the existence of multiple types of bone tissue.
Endochondral ossification mainly forms in two stages: modifications of the hyaline cartilage that ends with the death of chondrocytes and invasion of osteogenic cells and their differentiation into osteoblasts in the cavities previously occupied by chondrocytes for deposition.
