Weathering is process in which the rock breaks down into due to physical and chemical processes. It leads to wearing and tearing in the rocks. Weathering can be of three types physical weathering, chemical weathering and biological weathering.
Thermal stress weathering or insolation weathering occurs in places where there is a large change in daily temperatures. It causes the peeling off of the outer layer of the rocks.
Three forces cause the circulation of a gyre: global wind patterns, Earth's rotation, and Earth's landmasses. Wind drags on the ocean surface, causing water to move in the direction the wind is blowing.
Answer:
The correct option is <em>C) investigate the various biotic and abiotic factors that are unique to high altitude.</em>
Explanation:
The survival of the certain species of pine trees only at elevations shows that there will definitely be a biotic or abiotic factor that enhances the growth of the pines at that place. It might be due to abiotic factors like the temperature or soil at high altitude or due to some biotic factor like a mutualistic relationship with organisms at high altitudes. Hence, option C is the correct option.
Because it transports energy for all cellular metabolic activities.
