Which Is The Best Exaple Of Physical Wethering

Which is the best exaple of physical wethering

 

Swiftly moving water

Rapidly moving water can lift, for short periods of time, rocks from the stream bottom. When these rocks drop, they collide with other rocks, breaking tiny pieces off.

Ice wedging

Ice wedging causes many rocks to break. This refers to the repeated freezing and melting of water within small crevices in the rock surface. This expansion and contraction is also a major cause of potholes in streets. Water seeps into cracks in the rocks, and, as the temperature drops below freezing, the water expands as ice in the cracks. The expansion exerts tremendous pressure on the surrounding rock and acts like a wedge, making cracks wider. After repeated freezing and thawing of water, the rock breaks apart.

Plant roots

Plant roots can grow in cracks. The pressure of a confined growing root can be substantial. These pressures make cracks in the rocks larger, and, as roots grow, they can break rocks apart.

p.s: your question is supposed to be "what is the best example of physical weathering?"

Bakit Mga Pagbabago Ang Pamagat Ng Kabanata 51?

Bakit mga pagbabago ang pamagat ng kabanata 51?   Noli Me Tangere Kabanata 51: Mga Pagbabago             Ang kabanatang ito ay pinamagatang mga pagbabago sapagkat maraming pagbabago ang naganap tulad ng pagkawala ng ekskomunikasyon ni Ibarra. Tanging ang kulang na lamang ang kapatawaran na manggagaling kay Padre Damaso. Ngunit ang kapatawaran na ito ay hindi kusang loob na ipagkakaloob ng kura maliban sa kung ito ay hihilingin ni Maria Clara mula rito. Naging maayos din ang pakikitungo ni Padre Salvi kay Ibarra ng mabalitaan na ito ay hindi na ekskomunikado. Buong lugod niyang kinamayan si Ibarra at pinapurihan pa ito.           Ang pagkaka alis ng ekskomunikasyon ni Ibarra ay malaking bagay para sa binata. Ang pagtingin at pagtrato ng mga tao sa kanya ay magbabago tulad ng pagbabago ng ianunsyo ni Padre Damaso ang pagiging ekskomunikado niya. Maging ang pagtrato ni Maria Clara kay Ibarra ay nagkaroon din ng pagbabago. Nais ng dalaga na kalimutan na siya ni Ibarra ngunit sa

An Antacid Tablet Containing 0.50 G Of Nahco3 Is Dissolved In 250 Ml Of Water. What Is The Molar Concentration Of Nahco3 In The Solution? *

An antacid tablet containing 0.50 g of NaHCO3 is dissolved in 250 mL of water. What is the molar concentration of NaHCO3 in the solution? *   Molar concentration is solved by determining the molar mass by dividing the amount of solutes to the volume of solution then dividing it to 0.5g. You also need to convert the amount of solutes from grams into moles, and the volume of solution from ml into L In solving the moles of solute, note the NaHCO3, it has 1 Sodium atom, 1 hydrogen atom, 1 carbon atom and 3 oxygen atom. Find its atomic mass according to the periodic table Na=22.99 H=1.008 C= 12.01 O=16.0 Multiply the quantities and add... Atomic mass of NaHCO3= 22.99+1.008+12.01+(16.0×3) =22.99+1.008+12.01+ 48 =84.008 g/ mol Divide it to 0.5 g =0.5g÷ 84.008g/mol =5.951814113^-3 mol Now convert ml to L 250÷1000= 0.25L C=n/v C= =5.951814113^-3 mol/0.25L C= 0.023807256 mol/L or 0.024 mol/L
