A student is measuring the effect that surface area has on the rate of chemical weathering. He dissolves several 5-gram
samples of calcite in an acid. The samples range from a single rock, to several small pieces, to a fine powder. He observes
that the 5 grams of powder dissolve the fastest, and the single 5-gram rock dissolves the slowest. Based on this
information, how might mechanical weathering affect the rate of chemical weathering?

if the hares very faster than they are now, and thus the lynx's hunting success rate drops because it will be harder to catch them, the rate that will change will be the pray-rate. the pray-rate will change because more hares will be able to survive, thus more individuals for reproduction, so the end result will be increasing population of hares.

the predator-rate will remain pretty much the same because there will be more than enough pray, but the hunting success rate is stagnant.
