Describe TWO characteristics of limestone which make it susceptible to chemical weathering​

Geography
1 answer:
NeTakaya2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Limestone areas are predominantly affected by chemical weathering when rainwater, which contains a weak carbonic acid, reacts with limestone. This causes the limestone to dissolve. Carbon dioxide from the respiration of animals (and ourselves) is one cause of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

How might the ideas of liberty, equality, government and free don become driving forces for revolution against absolute rulers (
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Absolute rulers of dictators as they are usually called, rule by the decree. In other words all power is centered on them and they rule the nation as they see fit.

There is a saying by Lord Acton that goes like, "Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely". This is because when most of these dictators become dictators they become fantastically corrupt. They loot state resources and clamp down on dissent. They deny people their basic liberties and they run inefficient governments that do not care much for the people.

They even have a tendency of favouring a certain tribe or section of the population over others.

When these feelings or mistreatment and inequality reach a boiling point, people tend to stage riots and protests. This is what happened across the Arab world in 2011 in what was called The Arab Spring and more recently in Sudan last year.

The people took to the streets demanding equality and basic freedoms which were denied to them by the Absolute rulers. When most of their demands were not met, they turned to violence and revolution. Libya, Syria and Yemen were plunged into Civil War and have no recovered since. In Libya and Yemen the revolution worked in part as the former leaders were replaced. Tunisia and Egypt, both of whom managed to avoid war also saw their long time Absolute leaders fall. Sudan, last year saw months of protest against it's long term leader, the culmination of which was his removal from power by his own army.

All these instances described were driven by the ordinary citizens of the country who were tired of the way they were treated in the society. They wanted Liberty. They wanted Equality. They wanted good Government. And they wanted Freedom. These concepts drove them to fight and in most cases overcome, their absolutes.

Answer:

People also ask

Why are maps not always completely an accurate representation of Earth's surface?

It is absolutely impossible to depict a round earth on a flat surface without sacrificing at least some accuracy. In fact, a map can only be accurate in one of four domains: shape, area, distance, or direction. ... The Peters projection combats this area distortion by sacrificing accuracy of shape, distance, and direction.17 Jun 2018

castortr0y [4]

Answer: A) greater than

Explanation:

Continental climates usually have a greater annual variation in temperature than coastal regions, meaning hot summers followed by cold winters. This happens because winds that blow overland prevail

in inland areas, and the temperatures are not decreased by nearby bodies of water. Coastal areas have a smaller range of temperature than continental land because of the ocean´s heat capacity.
