a sheet erosion
b uplift
c weathering
d mass movement

The correct answer is C. Weathering

Explanation:

The term "weathering" refers to the breaking down or alteration of rocks, minerals and similar that are on the surface. This occurs due to different factors such as physical forces for example pressure or air; chemical reactions such as extreme temperatures or due to organisms. Additionally, weathering leads to changes on rocks and in general terms on soil and the surface. Also, this differs from erosion because it does not imply the movement of oil or rocks but occurs in one place. According to this, it is weathering the term that describes the breaking down and changing of rocks.

homeostasis is the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. and this is how it applies to the integumentary system. back to top. skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials. when body temperature falls, the sweat glands constrict and sweat production decreases.
