How do earthquakes and volcanos affect the rate of weathering and erosion? explain?

Earthquakes generally increase the rate of weathering and erosion because the energy transmitted through rocks, especially, shear waves (secondary waves) will break rocks. Volcanos emit gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur that will cause acidic precipitation. This acidic precipitation will dissolve some elements in the rocks hence weakening them and increasing the rate of erosion.

the element that provides strength to the exoskeletons of clams and oysters is phosphorus.

this is so because calcium carbonate is the main component in the shells. calcium carbonate is strengthened by phosphorus.
