Minerals are composed of multiple elements and rocks are actually made up of minerals. Take quartz for example, it's a mineral that's made up of silicon and oxygen. If we then look at the igneous rock that is referred to as granite, we'll see quartz (the main one), mica(s), and feldspar.

So your answer is B. :)

The correct answer is option b, that is, the addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

If the concentration of carbon dioxide upsurges in the atmosphere due to the enhanced rate of outgassing, there will be a constant elevation in the global temperature. The elevating temperature and more dissolved carbon dioxide will result in enhanced weathering of crystal rocks as a consequence of faster rate of reactions and greater acidity.

Why would a drug that damages capsules help treat a viral infection

ss7ja [257]

Drug that demages capsule is used to treat viral infection because Curing a viral infection antibiotics are useless against viral infections. This is because viruses are so simple that they use their host cells to perform their activities for them. So antiviral drugs work differently to antibiotics, by interfering with the viral enzymes instead.

Antiviral drugs are currently only effective against a few viral diseases, such as influenza, herpes, hepatitis B and C and HIV – but research is ongoing. A naturally occurring protein, called interferon (which the body produces to help fight viral infections), can now be produced in the laboratory and is used to treat hepatitis C infections.
