What is on of the causes of mechanical weathering? acid rain
oxidation
animal actions
carbon dioxide

Mechanical weathering is weathering caused by the breaking down of rocks by physical force without any change in the chemical nature of the rocks. Mechanical weathering is usually caused by extreme hot and cold temperatures. Water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands, causing the further breakdown of rocks.

Explanation:

radiative zone

explanation    

radiative zone is the layer of the sun which energy is transferred away from the core by radiation. although, the core is the only part of the sun that produces an appreciable amount of heat through fusion. in fact, 99% of the energy produced by the sun takes place within 24% of the sun's radius.
