Answer:

Georgia is the world's leading producer of Kaolin (china clay).

Explanation:

Kaolin or china clay contains the mineral kaolinite mainly. It also contains varying amounts of other minerals like muscovite, feldspar, quartz, etc. In order to prepare it for commercial use, the clay in its natural form is then chemically treated and washed with water to remove the other minerals.

Kaolin is extensively used in the ceramic industry and the paper-coating industry. The high fusion temperature and white burning characteristics are used in the ceramic industry for the manufacture of chinaware, porcelain, and refractories. In the paper-coating industry, the kaolin is mixed with the cellulose fiber in the paper sheet. This gives the paper its color, opacity, and printability. It is also used as a pigment additive in paints, as a filler in plastic and rubber compounds, and in pharmaceuticals.

How does the aorta compare in size to the other blood vessels near it?
mart [117]

Answer: it doesn't

Explanation: Why? The aorta is the largest artery in the body. The aorta begins at the top of the left ventricle the heart's muscular pumping chamber. The heart pumps blood from the left ventricle into the aorta through the aortic valve. Three leaflets on the aortic valve open and close with each heartbeat to allow one-way flow of blood. The aorta is a tube about a foot long and just over an inch in diameter. The aorta is divided into four sections:

• The ascending aorta rises up from the heart and is about 2 inches long. The coronary arteries branch off the ascending aorta to supply the heart with blood.

• The aortic arch curves over the heart, giving rise to branches that bring blood to the head, neck, and arms.

• The descending thoracic aorta travels down through the chest. Its small branches supply blood to the ribs and some chest structures.

• The abdominal aorta begins at the diaphragm, splitting to become the paired iliac arteries in the lower abdomen. Most of the major organs receive blood from branches of the abdominal aorta.

Like all arteries, the aorta's wall has several layers:

• The intima, the innermost layer, provides a smooth surface for blood to flow across.

• The media, the middle layer with muscle and elastic fibers, allows the aorta to expand and contract with each heartbeat.

• The adventitia, the outer layer, provides additional support and structure to the aorta.

Animals have life cycles that also help them adapt. How does a frog's life cycle help the frog's species?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

yes, over time pieces of an animals life cycle can change and adapt to help them survive in different environments that doesn't happen overnight. In a frogs life cycle they develop into a frog from an egg. frogs have adapted to become what they are today and if I where to make a prediction it would be that frogs at one point lived solely in water based on the way they grow and develop in there life cycle. having a life cycle means there's room for improvement and tiny adjustments can be Made as a defense mechanism that develops over the course of many froggy life cycles.
