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.

the graph above shows population of Brazil's largest cities according to the graph how does Brazil's third largest city compare
Gemiola [76]

The second largest city in Brazil is Rio de Janeiro, while the third biggest is the capital Brasilia. Rio de Janeiro has an estimated population of around 6,5 million people while Brasilia has little less than 3 million. This makes Rio de Janeiro more than twice bigger in population than the capital of Brazil, Brasilia. But there's something interesting in here in the background, in the past 6 years the population of the second Rio de Janeiro has only increased by little over 9%, while Brasilia's population has increased by around 20% which is more than twice in increase, so if that trend continues in the coming few decades Brasilia will come on top of Rio de Janeiro very quickly.
