Answer:

Explanation:

Weathering is a natural process of break down of rocks or minerals into sub-parts, sediments and others. The two broad categories of weathering which are responsible for breaking down of rock/minerals are:

1. Physical and mechanical weathering: It refers to the process by which the rocks are broken down into sub-parts. This process does not alter the chemical composition of the rocks. The agents such as temperature, pressure, and others.

2. Chemical weathering: It refers to the process by which the rocks are subjected to chemical treatment such as hydrolysis, oxidation, and carbonation. These treatments brings change in the chemical composition of the rocks which further causes the disintegration of rocks.

Brad made a 7-sided polygon with 1 interior right angle. Explain why this shape is NOT a regular polygon.
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Regular polygons have all their angle the same. 90 degree angles can only make a square.

Explanation:

To be regular, all angles have to be congruent. That would be 7 right angles  The sum of the angles for an n-sided polygon is (n-2)180 or when n=7 that is 5(180) which is 10(90). and you have only 7 times 90 if they were all 90.

Answer:

The League of Nations was established in 1919.

The aim was to keep world peace and to ensure security.

At its largest there were 58 countries involved with the LoN.

The League of Nations failed as there had to be unanimity for decisions. Unanimity made it really hard for the League to do anything. The League suffered big time from the absence of major powers — Germany, Japan, Italy ultimately left — and the lack of U.S. participation. They also had no army so that meant that when countries were trying to annex one another the League couldn't protect the land.
