"Carpeting", and "furniture increased ventilation" inefficient indoor cook stoves "VOCs from paints".

Option: C

<u>Explanation</u>:

VOC's are really harmful solvents that are released in the air as the paint dries. The VOC's can create acute health symptoms which may result harmful after some time, like dizziness, headache, and many more. Generally, the long term effects are not that evident, but some VOC's are more carcinogens according to US environmental protection agency. Although, many paint companies claim that their paints are VOC free which is actually false. It might be true that the VOC is not present in the base of the paint, but when the pigment is added to the paint the VOC increases. Hence, carpeting, furniture, cook stoves and VOC's from paints are really harmful indoor pollutants.

Identify each event as the result of mechanical weathering or chemical weathering.
kow [346]

<h3><u>The following events are identified as chemical weathering:</u></h3>
  • The minerals in a marble statue react with water to form acids and pores in the structure.
  • The rocks in a region are streaked orange after being exposed to repeated rains.

<em><u>Reason: </u></em>

When the weathering process occurs due to <em>chemical reaction</em>, then it is considered as chemical weathering.

In <em>the first case</em>, minerals of marble statue are <em>reacting</em> with water to cause weathering. In the <em>second case</em>, due to the <em>acidificaion reaction</em>, the change of the color has happened after exposure to the repeated rains.

<h3><u>The following events are identified as Mechanical weathering:</u></h3>
  • A piece of rock crumbles after being constantly thrashed by strong waves.
  • Industrial runoff forms cracks in a rocky structure in its path.

<em><u>Reason:</u></em>

When the rock is broken into simple pieces <em>without any chemical reaction </em>it is considered as mechanical weathering.

In the <em>first cause</em>, due to the <em>abrasion</em> caused by the strong waves, weathering has happened, in the <em>second case</em> industrial run off may be of varying temperature and thus may cause <em>heating or cooling</em> of the rock and causes weathering.
