This statue of leshan giant buddha in sichuan, china, is carved directly into the mountainside. the color and texture of the statue are constantly changing due to the pollutants from vehicles and industries nearby. what are the two main causes of the changes to the statute?

The correct answer is rainfall and chemical reaction.

Explanation:

The statue of Great Buddha is under spontaneous modification and it is gradually but surely getting weathered. The two prime causes for this is rainfall and chemical reactions taking place.  

The water falling due to rainfall is one of the prime reasons for rocks weathering, the water is considered to decompose or destruct the rocks with time. The other factor is chemical reactions, as we all know that China is faced with a huge issue of pollution. Due to this, the air in China comprises enough amount of pollutants, which are resulting in serious destruction to the majority of the things, comprising the statue of Great Buddha, and it results in quicker decomposing due to its corrosive power and modification in color in comparison to anything else.  

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
