Which of the following is an example of how living things, including humans, affect erosional and weathering processes?

question 6 options:

a)

animals burrow into soil and humans excavate soil when building.

b)

decaying organic matter and burning of fossil fuels contributes to physical weathering.

c)

plants contribute to erosion when their roots exert pressure on rocks.

d)

all of the above

d) All of the above

Explanation:

    The concept of weathering refers to the set of chemical, physical and biological processes responsible for the breakdown (breakdown) or decomposition of rocks.

    The concept of erosion, on the other hand, refers to the set of steps that brings together the wear, transport and deposition of sedimentary material, ie rock particles and soil.

    In short, we can say that erosion is the process of transporting rock particles decomposed or disintegrated by weathering. These are occurrences, therefore, interconnected and acting together in the dynamics of relief transformation.

    Both weathering and erosion are early participants in the formation of sedimentary rocks, since sediments generated by weathering and transported by erosion, after undergoing a series of transformations, become sedimentary rocks and sedimentary basins.

a mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. this uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.a geomagnetic reversal is a change in a planet's magnetic field such that the positions of magnetic north and magnetic south are interchanged.
