Palsy means paralysis, but may also be used to describe uncontrolled muscle movement. Therefore, cerebral palsy encompasses any disorder of abnormal movement and paralysis caused by abnormal function of the cerebral cortex. In truth, however, CP does not include conditions due to progressive disease or degeneration of the brain.
Unlike weathering of granite or other hardrock, limestone weathering is often thought of as a purely chemical process in which groundwater or rain dissolve the rock, says Simon Emmanuel, a geologist at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel who led the new work, published in Geology.uilders and masons take note: When it comes to the durability of limestone, grain size matters. New research combining field and lab data shows that fine-grained limestone is more susceptible than its coarser-grained cousins to a one-two punch of chemical and mechanical weathering.
Chemical weathering involves the change in the composition of rocks, often leading to a 'break down' in its form. This type of weathering happens over a period of time. The types of Chemical weathering are: Dissolution: This occurs when rainfall is slightly acidic and gases in the air are added to it. This consequent mix can cause solution weathering of rocks. Hydration: Hydration is a form of chemical weathering that involves the rigid attachment of H+ and OH- ions to the atoms and molecules of a mineral. Hydrolysis: This is a chemical weathering process affecting Silicate minerals. is a chemical weathering process affecting Silicate minerals. In such reactions, pure water ionizes slightly and reacts with silicate minerals. Oxidation: This occurs within the chemical environment and makes the rocks soft.
