1. The answer is; soil. When rock weathers, it disintegrates into small and smaller particles. When these fine rocks particles combine with organic matter from living organisms, they make soil. The mineral component of the soil is therefore similar to that of the parent rock from which it came from.
2. Chemical weathering involves the reaction of the rock mineral with ‘chemicals’ or other compounds. These may include reaction with organic acids or acidic rainwater. Due to the chemical reaction, the rock chemical composition changes and the physical appearance may also look different.
3. The answer is limestone rocks. They are made of carbon-carbonate minerals. Carbon carbonate is easily dissolved by acids include slightly acidic rainwater/ precipitation.
CO2 + H2O → H2CO3 (carbon dioxide + water → carbonic acid)
H2CO3 + CaCO3 → Ca(HCO3)2 (carbonic acid + calcium carbonate → calcium bicarbonate)
4. Weathering of rocks is slower in cold regions than dry regions. This is because cold places do not encourage chemical weathering. Chemical weathering requires higher temperatures to increase the energies of the chemical atoms so that they react fast.
Answer:
B. Cerebellum
Explanation:
The cerebellum is primarily involved in coordinating movement and balance. It can also play a role in cognitive functions like language and attention. So the cerebellum helps with balance.
Answer:
here.
Explanation:
Due to the prevalence of malaria in Africa, the allele for sickle cell anemia (HbS) provides a selective advantage. That's why it remains in the population.
A normal African person (HbAHbA), with normal haemoglobin, will not die of anemia, but will die of malaria.
An African person with sickle cell anemia (HbSHbS), with abnormal haemoglobin, will die of anemia.
A heterozygous African person (HbAHbS), with half of his red blood cells (RBCs) being normal and the other half being sickle-shaped, will neither die from anemia, nor malaria since the plasmodium will be incapable of completing its life cycle in the abnormal RBCs.
Thus heterozygous African people will grow, reproduce and pass on the HbS allele to the next generations.
The given statement is true.
Some of the health science sites may restrict employees from wearing perfumes or other fragrances because the chemicals in the fragrances can stimulate reactions ranging from headaches to palpitations of heart in some of the individuals who are sensitive to them, making it tough for them to work efficiently.
With time, the individuals getting exposed to the chemicals present in the fragrances become more sensitized to them to the point that they can no longer tolerate any more exposure. This can initiate breathing issues, nausea, sneezing, disorientation, and in extreme situations, they can even go into shock.
