The definitions: The rock is a naturally and a solid aggregate of one or more minerals or mineraloids. For example, the Earth's outer solid layer, the lithosphere, is made of rocks.

And now: The mineral<span> is a naturally substance that is solid and inorganic representable by a chemical formula</span><span> and has an ordered </span>atomic structure.

What are examples of local diversity??
valentinak56 [21]
I understand this question to mean "local diversity of human culture" (and not, for example,  local biological diversity).

Local diversity can mean for example different food - different areas have their own food specialties).

It can also mean the customs and religions - for example how people eat (fork, chopstics, hands, etc).

Another example is the clothing, for example in India many women wear Saris, while in Europe women wear skirts or trousers.

How was the path of Hurricane Ike different than the storm of Galveston 1900
olga_2 [115]

Answer: After the hurricane, Galveston raised the elevation of many new buildings by more than 10 feet (3 meters). The city also built an extensive seawall to act as a buffer against future storms. Despite the reconstruction, the city's status as the premier shipping port was lost to Houston a few years after the disaster. Ike, however, is projected to head west on a path that will take it close to Hispaniola, Cuba, and the Florida Straits.”

What Transport challenges do Australians face?
Novay_Z [31]
I think the baby kangaroos have a pretty sweet ride they just kinda chill in the pouch till they get where they’re going. If australia got rid of their cars and started implementing more kangaroo friendly roadways perhaps they could create new infrastructure to involve kangaroos in the transportation industry.
