Answer
Physical weathering weathering is is breaking breaking up up rocks rocks by by force, force, while while chemical weathering weathering involves involves chemical chemical processes.
Explanation:
- Physical weathering refers to the mechanical weathering that takes place due to the freezing and thawing go the rocks which are exposed to hot and cold temperatures of the day and night
- An example of physical weathering is the onion peel weathering of rocks.
- While chemical weathering is the weathering by addition of oxygen, water and carbon to rock minerals.

Answer:
B and C
Explanation:
B. In a given rock sample, the amount of Silicon-32 isotopes gets divided in half about every 170yrs.
This is the concept of half-life. Half life is the time take for half of a radioactive isotope to disintegrate. The shorter the half life the faster the isotope disintegrates.
From the question, we were told that it would take 170yrs for half of the isotope of Silicon to disintegrate to Phosphorus. This is the half life.
C. The half life can be used to determine the amount of Si-32 that has decayed from the time closure temperature was reached.
The closure temperature is very important in radioactivity. It is the temperature at which a system has cooled and there is no resulting disintegration of parent and daughter isotopes.
From first order kinetics, we know that the rate at which radioactive elements decay at any time is directly proportional to the number of radioactive atoms present. A knowledge of the half life helps to figure out the number of atoms that has decayed in time.
Answer:
Oceanic Lithosphere
Explanatation
Oceanic lithosphere is more dense (compacted by immense pressure from oceans) and the continental lithosphere is less dense (lack of pressure from anything above it). When the two collide, the continental lithosphere will essentially float on top of subterranean magma while the oceanic lithosphere, being the denser of the two, will slip beneath the continental lithosphere and dive into the magma chamber.
