Explanation:
- Mechanical weathering involves the breakdown of the rocks into small pieces by the external support such as pressure whereas Chemical weathering involves the breakdown of the rocks takes place by the chemical process.
- Mechanical weathering is a physical change that is caused by the movement of wind and water whereas chemical weathering takes place when the chemicals present in the air or water get mixed with minerals or rocks.
- Mechanical weathering involves:
Abrasion, freezing, thawing, exfoliation.
- Whereas Chemical weathering involves:
dissolution, oxidation, carbonation, hydrolysis.
Answer:
Deep ocean exploration is all about investigating its geology i.e physical and chemical along with biological conditions on the ocean floor where sunlight cannot reach. There has been an interest in the deep ocean due to scientific communities and for industrial purpose. Exploration is carried by submarine and remotely operated vehicles at about 300m to 1000m. Analysis of ocean floor had found a huge concentration of mineral deposits such as manganese, copper, cobalt, gold, zinc etc.
The mining is carried out by using hydraulic pumping or bucket type excavator and are processed on ground industries. Deep-ocean mining has not been able to reach its full potential due to the high cost of operating and environmental damage.
The answer to your question would be B. This is because GM stands for genetically modified, which means it is not natural. And that is why people prefer organic food if they can afford it, because they don't want to eat food that is not natural. Hope this helps! :D Feel free to ask more questions.
