The processes of intramembranous and endochondral ossification are similar in several respects. Which of the following statement

Damm [24]

B. Both processes form woven bone.

Explanation:

Bone growth and development is mainly characterized by bone ossification processes taking place through the two main osteogenic pathways – intramembranous and endochondral ossification.

The woven bones are the primary immature bones formed by both these ossification processes from the bone cells (osteoclasts, osteocytes, osteoblast) and calcified bone matrix. These woven cells later developed into the mature secondary bones or the lamellar bones – spongy (cancellous) or compact (dense cortical) bones.

Intramembranous ossification takes place mesenchymal sheets of connective tissues and produces soft spongy bones.

Endochondral ossification results in replacement of hyaline cartilage to form the long bones.

What is sustainable development

DedPeter [7]

Answer and Explanation

__________________________________________________________

According to UNESCO,

Sustainable development is the overarching paradigm of the United Nations. The concept of sustainable development was described by the 1987 Bruntland Commission Report as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

__________________________________________________________

There are four dimensions to sustainable development – society, environment, culture, and economy – which are intertwined, not separate. Sustainability is a paradigm for thinking about the future in which environmental, societal, and economic considerations are balanced in the pursuit of improved quality of life. For example, a prosperous society relies on a healthy environment to provide food and resources, safe drinking water, and clean air for its citizens.

__________________________________________________________

One might ask, what is the difference between sustainable development and sustainability? Sustainability is often thought of as a long-term goal (i.e. a more sustainable world), while sustainable development refers to the many processes and pathways to achieve it (e.g. sustainable agriculture and forestry, sustainable production and consumption, good government, research and technology transfer, education and training, etc.).

Which weathering process is mechanical?

grigory [225]

Answer:

D. Thermal expansion

Explanation:

MECHANICAL WEATHERING

can be defined as the gradual disintegration of rock into smaller particles which later turn into soil. when mechanical weathering occurs, it doesn't change the chemical composition of the rock. mechanical weathering are caused by abrasion by ice water, thermal expansion, root of trees growing on the rock.

THERMAL EXPANSION

This is a mechanical process of weathering. during the day when there is high temperature and hits the rock surface, the rock absorbs heat expands . at night when the temperature drops the rock contrast. Repeated action of expansion and contraction results in gradual breakdown of rock to form soil.
