Explanation:

For question 1, the figure shows water - filled cracks in the ground with rain and puddles, indicating weathering of parent material. Mechanical weathering can be due to water expansion in cracks and chemical weathering can occur as water reacts with minerals. For question 2, by definition, climate is the long - term average of weather conditions in an area.

Answer:

1. A. Parent material is broken down by mechanical and chemical weathering.
2. C. Climate is the average weather of an area.
