1. What is the difference between weathering and erosion? 2. How are mechanical weathering and chemical weathering different?
3. How are hydrolysis and oxidation similar?
4. Explain the process of exfoliation.
5. As waves crash into rock along the shoreline, particles of sand, shell, and other
materials in the ocean water loosen tiny bits of sediment from the rock. As the
waves recede, they carry the sediment away. In this scenario, which process
represents weathering, and which process represents erosion?

sand 60

clay 10

silt 30

sandy loam should be dominated by the sand. as the amount of sand increased, the amount of slit needed to anchor the plants' roots to the sand will also be increased. even though the amount is very little, 10% part of clay is still necessary for proper oxidation.

well for one plants are always the producer, so a is the answer. a wolf is more of the consumer(predator) and the deer is the prey so i know those two are out of the question. also mushrooms are fungi/fungus so a is the producer.
