What is the induced fit model?
The breakdown of rocks through physical forces like wind, water, or thermal expansion.
What is mechanical weathering?
The stage in stellar evolution where a star has exhausted its core hydrogen and begins burning hydrogen in a shell around the core, causing it to expand dramatically.
