Today I saw an interesting topic, that is, will stones evolve? Well, in our definition, evolution belongs to living things, and in the earliest and earliest concepts, stones have been kicked out of the team of creatures. Because the stone lacks basic biological characteristics, what are the characteristics? Let's talk about whether the stone will evolve in the end.
01, one of the evolutionary characteristics - metabolism
Metabolism,This is the most basic characteristic of being a living being, but does the stone eat and drink Lazar? Obviously, this is a problem that even children know, and that is impossible.
02, the second characteristic of evolution - irritability
Stress isIt refers to the ability of organisms to respond to external stimuli, so that organisms can seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and seek good fortune and avoid evil, which is also one of the basic characteristics of organisms. Knowing what stress is, then the question is, you scold the stone, do you dare to resist the stone?
03, the third characteristic of evolution - reproduction
Reproduction, which is also one of the basic characteristics of living things, which of you has ever seen stone breeding? Except for the Monkey King, is there anything else? (The four Tang monks and apprentices were eating, and suddenly "boom!") "A loud noise startled everyone, Tang Seng raised his eyes and looked, pointed to the broken stones under the mountain and said, "Wukong, it seems that your mother has given birth to a second child." ）
So, theoretically, stones cannot evolve.
04, how to explain the original English word evolution?
It is well established that stones cannot evolve. However, there are always exceptions, for example, someone mentioned that it is not the original English word evolution, how to explain this? Because in geography, there is indeed a term for evolution, such as desert evolution:
The growth and dissipation of aeolian sand deposits in a certain period of time and the expansion and contraction process in space. According to the nature, it can be divided into the positive process of wind erosion, wind sand drift sand accumulation, sand dunes moving forward and dust accumulation, and the reverse process of wind and sand activity weakening and sand dunes becoming soil.But the stone changes mentioned by netizens have a proper noun, called weathering.
Weathering refers to the whole process of physical and chemical changes in the contact between hard rocks and minerals on or near the surface of the earth and the atmosphere, water and organisms, resulting in the formation of loose deposits in situ. According to the factors and properties of weathering, it can be divided into three types: physical weathering, chemical weathering, and biological weathering.
