Which of the following is characteristic of both weathering and erosion?
a. occurs naturally
b. caused by burrowing animals
c. occurs with movement
d. caused by the pull of gravity

Weathering, by definition, is the physical integration and chemical decomposition of earth materials at or near the earth’s surface. Erosion, by definition, is the gradual destruction of something by natural forces (e.g. water, wind, ice). Therefore, the characteristic of both weathering and erosion is that it occurs naturally.

because the two particles have an equal charge, the charges will cancel out and give the atom an overall charge of 0. so, if at atom has 35 protons in the nucleus, we could expect it to have 35 electrons orbiting that nucleus.
