A student placed some clean rocks in a clear plastic jar. The jar was filled with clean water and covered with a lid. The student then shook the jar up for five minutes. The student noted that smaller pieces had broken off some of the rocks and that there was a fine grit on the bottom of the jar. Which change of Earth's surface was the student modeling? * A. mechanical weathering
B. chemical weathering
C. erosion of sediments
D. forming deltas
E. I don't know

A. Mechanical weathering

Explanation:

Mechanical weathering can speed up weathering by fast, rapidly moving water. In the question, the process was caused when the student shook the jar with water and rocks inside.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
