Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article found on the Scientific American website.
Explanation:
<em>Remember,</em> according to that article we are told that scientists notice that these insects have a long nymphal (immature form before becoming adults) stage, one that can last up to 13 to 17 years on the ground before they leave the ground looking for mating partners.
Because it is only after mating occurs at this point that their eggs are laid, that is why scientists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years.
Answer:
magnitude means absolute value, so the one that is greastest, like |-7| and |4| even id |-7| is a negative number, but it is still the one farthest away from 0, so |-7| is greater than |4|.
That is the way to find the greatest magnitude, but because I don't know your numbers so I can not answer your question, but this is the way to solve for it.
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!!!( IF IT DOES <u><em>PLEASE MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST )</em></u>
The answer is A-Gravity. Why? This is because B and C are examples of chemical weathering and not mechanical. Although choice D may seem viable lava intrusion is not a direct cause of mechanical weathering although lava pushing upward may help in aiding mechanical weathering it would not be considered a big enough cause, thus gravity is the correct answer.
