Answer to Question 1

CO2 and water creates carbonic acid (Equation 5.3), which contributes to weathering because it is weakly acidic.

Answer to Question 2

Weathering is the breakdown of rock at Earth's surface. Erosion is the physical transport of weathered material from its source, such as by wind or water. Deposition is the accumulation of weathered sediment. Lithification is the conversion of the deposited sediment into rock, primarily through the processes of compaction and cementation.

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness. The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every lot of vaccine is tested before administration to the public, and the FDA regularly inspects vaccine manufacturers' facilities.

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.
