Answer:

Limestone.

When carbonic acid seeps through limestone underground, it can open up huge cracks or hollow out vast networks of caves.

Explanation:

This is the process of chemical weathering.

This is the chemical reaction between Carbonic acid (H2CO3), i.e. Acid Rain, and the Limestone (CaCO3), i.e. Calcite. The product of this reaction is Calcium Bicarbonate Ca(HCO3)2, which is soluble and is washed away by the rain.

Answer:

students at the university who speak three or more languages is 2082

Explanation:

given data

students = 31230

random sample = 255

speak three or more languages = 17

solution

we consider here numbers of students at university who speak three or more language = x

so here we will use proportions

$\frac{x}{31230}$ = $\frac{17}{255}$ ........................1

solve it we get

x = 2082

so here students at the university who speak three or more languages is 2082

After reviewing the graph you posted above, there is one radioactive isotope that has a half life that is approximate to the same as the estimated time of the origin of Earth.

The radioactive isotope is called Uranium 238. You can also write this out as U-238 or uranium/u. Any of these are acceptable for the answer.

Why were the Russian peoples largely a “slave” population until 1917?

This was due to the Czar Nicholas II, who led more of a dictatorship. In 1917, people rebelled, so the Czar stepped down.
