Etiology. Cerebral palsy is relatively common, affecting 1 in 200 children. This number takes into account the full spectrum of the disorder, including milder cases, a broad definition of age of insult, and more complete case ascertainment.
Chemical weathering is the weakening and subsequent disintegration of rock by chemical reactions. These reactions include oxidation, hydrolysis, and carbonation.These processes either form or destroy minerals, thus altering the nature of the rockâs mineral composition.emperature and, especially, moisture are critical for chemical weathering; chemical weathering of rock minerals generally occurs more quickly in hot, humid climatic regions. Oxidation is the reaction of rock minerals with oxygen, thus changing the mineral composition of the rock.
Weathering refers to the process by which rocks are broken apart or chemically altered to become sediment. This process can be further subdivided into two categories: physical/mechanical weathering and chemical weathering. Chemical weathering refers to the processes by which rocks react with the atmosphere to form new substances. These reactions can alter a rock and transform the rock into sand, clays, and other minerals. CHEMICAL WEATHERING. Like mechanical weathering, there are several different types of chemical weathering.
