Chemical weathering is the disintegration of a substance in the rock through a chemical reaction.
Carbonation occurs when water and a pollutant, such as sulphur dioxide creates a weak sulphuric acid. When it rains and the water comes into contact with limestone a chemical reaction happens. Calcium sulphate is produced as it takes the calcium carbonate from the limestone. It can then transfer the solution to another area until it evaporates. When it does so it leaves behind calcium information such as stalactites.
hydration occurs when minerals in a rock absorb water, causing it to expand. Mineral, such as anhydrite, expands and weakens it’s structure and leave the rock more exposed to erosion.
oxidation occurs some substances react to being exposed to water or air. Iron, when exposed, will turn from a silver color to a red or dark brown color known as iron oxide. It weakens the rock.
hydrolysis occurs when water bonds with a mineral in the rock. It is particularly strong at weathering feldspars in rock and can lead to the formation of Kaolin.
Answer: The Precambrian Era comprises all of geologic time prior to 600 million years ago.
Explanation: The Precambrian was originally defined as the era that existed before the emergence of life in the Cambrian Period. It is known that life on Earth began by the early Archean and that fossilized organisms became more and more abundant throughout Precambrian time.

Explanation: GPS which is an acronym for Global Positioning System is a global satellite based location and navigation system owned by the US Government. It was first used by the US Air Force in 1978. It's main purpose is to show a GPS user location and time information from anywhere on earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight from the precise location to 4 or more GPS satellites. GPS is commonly used on land (obviously through every day use like when you use an uber) and in the air (pilots use GPS signals when they fly).
GPS can be used to track pets if there's a tracking device on their collars.
GPS is also used in taxis and can be used to track a cab after a hurricane.
Ordinary people can use GPS to collect information for scientists - an example of this would be taking a new undefined route on Google maps therefore adding to their archive of known routes/areas.
However GPS signals cannot penetrate water - sea water especially. Hence the answer is B
