A large rock is broken into several smaller pieces. Compared to the rate of weathering of the large rock, the rate of weathering of the smaller pieces is *

A)the same
B)less
C) greater

Compared to the rate of weathering of the large rock, the rate of weathering

of the smaller pieces is greater.

Weathering is the process in which rock particles are broken down into

smaller parts through agents such as wind, water etc

The degree of weathering is inversely proportional to the size of the rock.

The smaller the size of the rocks, the bigger the degree of weathering.

Smaller rocks have a larger surface area which makes it easier for the  

agents of weathering to act on them.

1) gene flow

- it is described as the transfer of genes from one population to another population so that frequency of gene is increased.

-a zebra migrates to join a different herd of zebras.

2) natural selection

- a mechanism of evolutionary change in which individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce whereas the others ( those that can not adapt) eliminate from the population.

-competition for sunlight leads to taller trees.

3) mutation

- permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of dna ( genetic material) that could have harmful or useful consequences.

-the dna of a snake changes to make its venom stronger.

4) genetic drift - it is a random phenomenon ( that occurs by chance such as fire) that results in change in the gene frequency in a small population.    

-a grassfire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals.
