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.

What is the value of X6? <br><br> Show the solution.

wariber [46]

Answer : The value of $x_6$ is $\sqrt{7}$ .

Explanation :

As we are given 6 right angled triangle in the given figure.

First we have to calculate the value of $x_1$ .

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle 1 :

$(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2$

$(x_1)^2=(1)^2+(1)^2$

$x_1=\sqrt{(1)^2+(1)^2}$

$x_1=\sqrt{2}$

Now we have to calculate the value of $x_2$ .

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle 2 :

$(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2$

$(x_2)^2=(1)^2+(X_1)^2$

$(x_2)^2=(1)^2+(\sqrt{2})^2$

$x_2=\sqrt{(1)^2+(\sqrt{2})^2}$

$x_2=\sqrt{3}$

Now we have to calculate the value of $x_3$ .

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle 3 :

$(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2$

$(x_3)^2=(1)^2+(X_2)^2$

$(x_3)^2=(1)^2+(\sqrt{3})^2$

$x_3=\sqrt{(1)^2+(\sqrt{3})^2}$

$x_3=\sqrt{4}$

Now we have to calculate the value of $x_4$ .

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle 4 :

$(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2$

$(x_4)^2=(1)^2+(X_3)^2$

$(x_4)^2=(1)^2+(\sqrt{4})^2$

$x_4=\sqrt{(1)^2+(\sqrt{4})^2}$

$x_4=\sqrt{5}$

Now we have to calculate the value of $x_5$ .

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle 5 :

$(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2$

$(x_5)^2=(1)^2+(X_4)^2$

$(x_5)^2=(1)^2+(\sqrt{5})^2$

$x_5=\sqrt{(1)^2+(\sqrt{5})^2}$

$x_5=\sqrt{6}$

Now we have to calculate the value of $x_6$ .

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle 6 :

$(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2$

$(x_6)^2=(1)^2+(X_5)^2$

$(x_6)^2=(1)^2+(\sqrt{6})^2$

$x_6=\sqrt{(1)^2+(\sqrt{6})^2}$

$x_6=\sqrt{7}$

Therefore, the value of $x_6$ is $\sqrt{7}$ .

g homo habilis is the first species of the genus homo. it is [ select ] similar to other homo species, like homo erectus, than t

Natali5045456 [20]

Sahelanthropus, Orrorin, Ardipithecus, Australopithecus, and Paranthropus are just a few of the genera that exhibit postcranial transformation and canine reduction throughout the first four million years or so of hominid evolution. There is a concurrent change in the hominid fossil record as the Pliocene epoch came to an end and the world climate was changing about 2.5 million years ago. Something novel arose in this setting, both physically and behaviorally, as it became cooler. The genus Homo originated from this.

The commencement of the transition from primordial, large-brained, stone tool-making, meat-eating apes that spread out across the globe to the species Homo's beginnings in Africa is marked by this change. Three species, Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis, and Homo erectus, are considered to be the earliest members of the human genus. It is well known that H. habilis was the first species to produce stone tools and that it still possesses basic characteristics that connect it to australopiths. Aside from the fact that H. rudolfensis shared both time and space with other early Homo and had a larger brain and set of teeth than H. habilis, little is known about this species. Thanks to its extensive fossil record, we now have a better grasp of the paleobiology and evolution of the more complex H. erectus. With a physique designed for contemporary striding locomotion, H. erectus was the first fully committed, obligate biped to emerge outside of Africa. It was also the first member of the human ancestry to leave Africa. The first Homo species are the ones who tipped our evolutionary history's scales away from the more ape-like direction and toward the more human one.
