Answer:
A rock's exposure to the weathering elements and its surface area can affect its rate of weathering. Rocks that are constantly bombarded by running water, wind, and other erosion agents, will weather more quickly. Rocks that have a large surface area exposed to these agents will also weather more quickly.
Explanation:
Properties of the Parent Rock ;
- The mineralogy and structure of a rock affects it’s susceptibility to weathering.
- Different minerals weather at different rates. Mafic silicates like olivine and pyroxene tend to weather much faster than felsic minerals like quartz and feldspar. Different minerals show different degrees of solubility in water in that some minerals dissolve much more readily than others. Water dissolves calcite more readily than it does feldspar, so calcite is considered to be more soluble than feldspar.
-
A rock’s structure also affects its susceptibility to weathering. Massive rocks like granite generally to not contain planes of weakness whereas layered sedimentary rocks have bedding planes that can be easily pulled apart and infiltrated by water. Weathering therefore occurs more slowly in granite than in layered sedimentary rocks.
Viruses lack the properties of living things:
1. They have no energy metabolism
2. They do not grow
3. They do not respond to stimuli
4. They do not reproduce independently- they have to replicate by invading living cells.
Answer:
2(8x^2-13x+10)
Explanation:
There are 5 angle s in a pentagon and we are assuming are pentagon is a regular one so the angles are all congruent.
Let's let A represent the measurement of one of the those angles in our pentagon.
The sum of our angles in our pentagon would then be A+A+A+A+A or 5A.
But we are also given that this equals 40x^2-65x+50.
So that means 5A=40x^2-65x+50.
If we divide both sides by 5 we can find what one of our angles is in terms of x. So let's do that A=8x^2-13x+10.
So we want to know the sum of two our angles, we want to know what is A+A or 2A. 2A=2(8x^2-13x+10). To obtain that I just multiplied both sides of A=8x^2-13x+10 by 2.
Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment. Homeostasis is a term coined to describe the physical and chemical parameters that an organism must maintain to allow proper functioning of its component cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.
