The earth is the planet from the sun, which is just the right distance for life to utilize the sun’s power and energy

Say whether each of the following statements relates to the influence on weathering by rock composition, rock properties, or climate. 1.exposed rock in the mountains of alaska 2.a lack of fractures in an outcrop3.quartz is rarely affected by dissolution, hydrolysis, or oxidation4.high porosity (a large amount of space between grains in a rock)5.rocks on the coast of a tropical island6.minerals that dissolve in the presence of waterthe good earth/chapter 9: weathering and soils weathering ratesthe good earth/chapter 9: weathering and soilscompositional control1.weathering is faster in rocks composed of weaker material or material that is easily converted to weaker material (such as feldspars)2.weathering is faster in rocks made up of minerals that dissolve in water (salt, gypsum)3.weathering is slower in rocks made of resistant materials (quartz)rock property control1.weathering is faster in rocks that allow air and water in (porous, fractured)2.fractures are natural weathering surfaces3.igneous and metamorphic rocks generally have low porosity –do you think they are particularly susceptible to weathering

Consider a population of snowshoe hares in montana. their fur color changes in response to changes in day length. during the long summer days, they have brown fur, but as the days shorten in the fall, their fur turns white in preparation for winter. then as the days get longer in the spring, their fur turns brown again. their fur coloration acts as camouflage from predators. as climate change brings warmer fall temperatures to montana, colder temperatures with snowfall are coming later in the year, and there may be less snowfall overall. as a result, the hares' fur color may be mismatched to the color of their surroundings, making them more visible to predators. which snowshoe hares would have a reproductive advantage in this changing environment? which snowshoe hares would have a reproductive advantage in this changing environment? hares that change color in response to day length, as the current population does hares with a mutation that prevents them from changing color from brown to white hares with a mutation that causes them to change color in response to temperature rather than day length hares with a mutation that prevents them from changing color from white to brown

The difference(s) between the grand canyon and valles marineris is/are: (a) the grand canyon was formed by water, but valles marineris was not. (a) valles marineris is much longer than the grand canyon. (c) valles marineris is much wider than the grand canyon. (d) valles marineris has large volcanoes near it. all of the above
