Answer:

Examples of mechanical weathering include frost and salt wedging, unloading and exfoliation, water and wind abrasion, impacts and collisions, and biological actions. All of these processes break rocks into smaller pieces without changing the physical composition of the rock.

Explanation:

Mechanical weathering involves mechanical processes that break up a rock: for example, ice freezing and expanding in cracks in the rock; tree roots growing in similar cracks; expansion and contraction of rock in areas with high daytime and low nighttime temperatures; cracking of rocks in forest fires, and so forth.

Well the flu is a virus. Knowing it’s a virus we know they multiply by entering a cell and passing over there rna then converted to be dna and creating other versions of them selfs until cytolysis occurs meaning the cell explodes with these new viruses and do the same with other cells. Since these dna conventions to create protein body parts of virus means there’s a increase in chemical reactions in the body and enzyme production. Also since your body has an immune system it can sense these antigens from the virus’s and cause increase in certain white blood cells to come in and kill these viruses and cells. In essence chemical and enzyme reactions increase. To survive.

3. What determines how many species live in a given place? And, what

Tasya [4]

Answer: Every stable population has one or more factors that limit its growth. A limiting factor determines the carrying capacity for a species. A limiting factor can be any biotic or abiotic factor: nutrient, space, and water availability are examples. The size of a population is tied to its limiting factor. The environment, what food is there and what predators live there. How much food they get and if they are decreasing from weather, predators etc.
