postnew [5]3 years ago

There are different types of chemical weathering, the most important are:

Solution - removal of rock in solution by acidic rainwater. In particular, limestone is weathered by rainwater containing dissolved CO2, (this process is sometimes called carbonation).

Hydrolysis - the breakdown of rock by acidic water to produce clay and soluble salts.

Oxidation - the breakdown of rock by oxygen and water, often giving iron-rich rocks a rusty-coloured weathered surface.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The event is known as the Trail of Tears

In 1830, congress passed the Indian Removal Act. This law allowed then-president Andrew Jackson to remove the native indian populations of the Southeastern United States, to a new territory in Oklahoma, known as the Indian Territory.

Over 30thousand people belonging to the tribes mentioned in the question were obliged to abandon their homelands, and move westward. During this event, a lot of them died of diseases and starvation. This sad reality is the reason why it has come to be known as the Trail of Tears.

Nationalism as one of the important factors of a trait that a citizen should have can also be harmful especially when it is already an extreme nationalism. Nationalism can be harmful when it reached to the state when you see your race is superior than others and fighting for your country even though you know you stand in the wrong side.

Outline the significance of adiabatic temperature gradient in determining the earth’s convective stability ​
Vilka [71]

Answer: Adiabatic temperature gradient is the rate of change in temperature due to pressure under adiabatic conditions.

Explanation:

The rate of change of temperature due to pressure under adiabatic conditions is referred to as adiabatic temperature gradient.

In practice, since in the sea the pressure changes can be considered proportional to depth changes, the adiabatic temperature gradient is usually given as rate of change per unit depth, instead of per unit pressure and for practical purposes and calculations, the unit of depth is often chosen as 1000 m.

The natural and non-natural heat transfer influence the process of adiabatic temperature gradient.
