Answer:

Temperature changes can also contribute to mechanical weathering in a process called thermal stress. Changes in temperature cause rock to expand (with heat) and contract (with cold). As this happens over and over again, the structure of the rock weakens. Over time, it crumbles.

Why doesn’t the sun blow itself up?
statuscvo [17]

An explosion occurs when the timescale for the energy release by some process is much shorter than the timescale on which a system can adjust to damp the energy release process. In the present day Sun, nuclear fusion is a very slow process: on average it takes many billion years for a proton to fuse with another. This timescale is quite temperature dependent, so you might have thought the centre of the Sun might heat up quickly, leading to a runaway "explosion". However, an increase in temperature leads to an increase in pressure that would expand the Sun, reducing the core density and temperature and decreasing the rate of nuclear fusion again. The timescale for the Sun to react in this way is just millions of years, so this acts like a thermostat that keeps the reactions under control.

A sunflower that moves its leaves so that maximum surface area is exposed to sunlight, is exhibiting which of the following char
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

A) Energy acquisition and use, using environmental and genetic information for evolution

Explanation:

The process of the movement of the flower towards sunlight , is known as the heliotropism .

It enables in keeping the flower visible and warm for pollinators .

And as the flower is pollinated and forms hard seed .

And for young flowers , the process is to maximize the process of photosynthesis .

It enables to track the sun with 24 biological clock , and after sun set the flower faces towards the east , and wait for the sun to rise .
