Answer;
C. unchanged rock and mineral fragments
Explanation;
A large number of landforms and features found in desert environments are formed as the result of weathering. Weathering is defined as the breakdown and deposition of rocks by weather acting in situ
The two main types of weathering which occur in deserts are Mechanical weathering, which is the disintegration of a rock by mechanical forces that do not change the rock's chemical composition and Chemical weathering, which is the decomposition of a rock by the alteration of its chemical composition.
By contrast much of the weathered debris in deserts has resulted from mechanical weathering. Chemical weathering, however, is not completely absent in deserts. Over long time spans,clays and thin soils do form.
Answer : The rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas is 52 mL/s.
Solution :
According to the Graham's law, the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of gas.
or,
..........(1)
where,
= rate of effusion of nitrogen gas = 
= rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas = ?
= molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28 g/mole
= molar mass of sulfur dioxide gas = 64 g/mole
Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:
Therefore, the rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas is 52 mL/s.
