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.

Describe four expected impacts of global warming.
yawa3891 [41]

Many impacts can be  brought by global warming, here I would introduce two impact each on the aspect on ecosystem and agriculture.

On ecosystem:

1. Shift in distribution of plants:

The changes in climate brought by global warming will alter the natural distribution limits for vegetation. For example, forests are moving north into the ;and that was once Arctic tundra, while the growing season increased in northern high latitudes.

2. Extinction or endangerment of species

Species may not be able to cope with climate change unlike human, hence intolerance of the increasing temperature may led to the extinction of spices. For example, coral reef cannot survive under temperature over 30 degree Celsius hence facing the danger of extinction.

On agriculture:

3.Farm production lowered

A warmer climate would lead to a loss of soil moisture hence increasing the erosion rate, and the dry soil will lower the land productivity as crops cannot grow on these barren land, especially water thirsty crops such as rice.

4.Farm production destroyed

Pests may become more active given the shorter and warmer winter, while floods may be present more often given the rapidly rising sea level and the instability of the climate.

Hope it helps!

PLS HELP ASAP<br> decribe the importance of agriculture of the people in central america
sasho [114]

Their progress and wealth is highly dependent on the harvests, and the price of grain. They probably have to import some industrial products and if they had a bad year (weather, other catastrophies, poor technology) they can't get the necessary amount of industrial products in exchange for their surplus e. g. in grain. There are so many standards and requirements about the quality of food production that no country can survive solely on agriculture without high quality technology (machines, unharmful fertilizers, research-based breeding, etc.).
