A student is measuring the effect that surface area has on the rate of chemical weathering. He dissolves several 5-gram samples of calcite in an acid. The samples range from a single rock, to several small pieces, to a fine powder. He observes that the 5 grams of powder dissolve the fastest, and the single 5-gram rock dissolves the slowest. Based on this information, how might mechanical weathering affect the rate of chemical weathering?

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
