Complete Question:

Which of the following is a process that changes the composition of rocks from one material to another?

Group of answer choices.

A. Erosion

B. Deposition

C. Physical weathering

D. Chemical weathering

Answer:

D. Chemical weathering

Explanation:

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

II. <u>Chemical weathering</u>: 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.

This ultimately implies that, chemical weathering refers to a process that changes the composition of rocks from one material to another. Some of the by products of chemical weathering are clay minerals, quartz, feldspar, muscovite, etc.

Which one of the following best describes the functions of carbohydrates with living things?
kozerog [31]

It’s between b and d. I would go with b based on the information below.

The four primary functions of carbohydrates in the body are to provide energy, store energy, build macromolecules, and spare protein and fat for other uses. Simple carbohydrates are quick energy sources, but they do not usually supply any other nutrients or fiber. One of the most important functions of carbohydrates is to form a structure called the glycocalyx. This is a coat around the cell.

Clearly your only giving 5 points but ok.

Answer:     Humans impact the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water.

Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag. Use long-lasting light bulbs. Energy efficient light bulbs reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also flip the light switch off when you leave the room!
