Answer:

Nutrient

Explanation:

Ecology can be defined as the scientific study of the relationship between living organisms such as plants and animals in relation to their physical and biological environment.

Nutrient inputs to the system come from weathering of rocks, from windblown dust, and from precipitation, which can carry material great distances.​ Various amount of nutrients are transported or transfered from terrestrial ecosystems through erosion and then deposited in aquatic ecosystems such as oceans, seas, and associated lowlands.

Erosion can be defined as a geological process which typically involves the wearing out of earthen (soil) materials and the transportation of these materials by natural forces like water, wind, etc. Soil erosion is greatest when the soil is steep.

Weathering can be defined as the physical and chemical breakdown of rock into smaller pieces called sediment. Weathering can be classified into two categories namely;

I. Physical weathering : it is the process of breaking rocks into pieces without affecting its chemical composition e.g temperature, abrasion and frost action.

II. Chemical weathering : it is the process of breaking rocks into pieces by chemical action which leads to changes in its chemical composition e.g carbonation, hydration, plant acid and oxidation.

Explain why are the constrllations of the zodiac seen in both boston and brazil?
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Because Circumpolar constellations are constellations that never set below the horizon when seen from a particular location on Earth.

They can be seen in the night sky throughout the year, while other constellations are seasonal, visible only at certain times of year.

The term circumpolar refers to constellations and stars that are circling the north and south celestial poles without ever dipping below the horizon. All circumpolar constellations are found near the celestial poles and, due to their proximity to the poles, they never disappear from view.

The five northern constellations visible from most locations north of the equator throughout the year are Cassiopeia, Cepheus, Draco, Ursa Major, and Ursa Minor.

The three southern circumpolar constellations visible from most locations in the southern hemisphere are Carina, Centaurus, and Crux.

Other constellations are just as prominent in the sky and can be seen for most of the year, but only these eight are circumpolar.
