rocks can oxidize in heat and the minerals can cause the rock to crack and break off .

slaking is physical weathering because the rock is still the same, but its wet.

chemical weathering would happen the most quickly in the amazon rainforest.

chemicals in water dissolving minerals in rock is chemical weathering.

erosion removes fertile topsoil, is caused mainly by wind and water, and can decrease revenue from agriculture.

erosion can be reduced by planting trees and contour plowing.

runoff happens when the ground cannot absorb anymore water is a true statement.
 

 

Answer:

given below

Explanation:

1) correct answer is option c)

when the temperature changes it leads to oxidize the mineral which leads to create crack.

2) correct answer is option b)

physical weathering is the process of to crack and break in wet rock.

3) correct answer is option a)

In amazon rainforest the chances of chemical weathering is very high.

4) correct answer is option d)

erosion is the process in which the rock and mineral  break down into smaller pieces.

5) correct answer is option c)

planting tree can reduce erosion as tree binds the top layer of soil.

6) true answer is option c)

runoff occurs when no water is absorbed by the soil.
