1. The answer is; soil. When rock weathers, it disintegrates into small and smaller particles. When these fine rocks particles combine with organic matter from living organisms, they make soil. The mineral component of the soil is therefore similar to that of the parent rock from which it came from.
2. Chemical weathering involves the reaction of the rock mineral with ‘chemicals’ or other compounds. These may include reaction with organic acids or acidic rainwater. Due to the chemical reaction, the rock chemical composition changes and the physical appearance may also look different.
3. The answer is limestone rocks. They are made of carbon-carbonate minerals. Carbon carbonate is easily dissolved by acids include slightly acidic rainwater/ precipitation.
CO2 + H2O → H2CO3 (carbon dioxide + water → carbonic acid)
H2CO3 + CaCO3 → Ca(HCO3)2 (carbonic acid + calcium carbonate → calcium bicarbonate)
4. Weathering of rocks is slower in cold regions than dry regions. This is because cold places do not encourage chemical weathering. Chemical weathering requires higher temperatures to increase the energies of the chemical atoms so that they react fast.
A student wants to prove that amphibians appeared on earth before birds. The student should use the fossil findings as evidence to provide the most reliable information about the periods when amphibians and birds appeared on earth. Fossils would throw light on the internal body structures that bear the closest similarity to either the amphibians or the birds. The radiocarbon dating of the fossils will reveal its age. This can be used to figure out the time of divergence of the two types.
Answer: C
Explanation: Smaller single-celled organisms have a high surface area to volume ratio, which allows them to rely on oxygen and material diffusing into the cell (and wastes diffusing out) in order to survive. The higher the surface area to volume ratio they have, the more effective this process can be.
True. Because its staying still
