About 150 - 200 species of plant, insect, bird and mammal become extinct every day or 24 hrs.

This is not an accurate but an estimation by U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity and Global Extinction Rates. It is also said that current extinctions were 'up to 100 times higher than the background rate.'

A cold or flu illness.

Complementary angles are those whose sum is 90.

Given here, is a right angled triangle, where anfle C is 90 deg. In this, sum of Angles A + C = 90, since, sum of angles in a right angled triangle = 180, angle C = 90 and

hence sum of A + B = 180 - C = 180 - 90 = 90.

Hence, the pair of cimplementary angles in the given triangle = Angle A + B.

Electronegativity, is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons (or electron density) towards itself.

An atom is composed of three subatomic particles. They are ::

1) Electron (-vely charged particle)

2) Proton (+vely charged particle)

3) Neutron (No charge particle)

Hence, Neutron is the subatomic particle which has no charge.

Chemical weathering is what happens when rocks are broken down and chemically altered.

Chemical weathering is the breakdown of rocks by chemical reactions. Chemical weathering involves changes in the chemical composition of the existing rock to form new rock. Some examples of chemical weathering are hydrolysis, oxidation, carbonation, dissolution, etc.

Among the Indian cities Chandigarh is known as City of Roses.
