Some sedimentary rock is formed from minerals that were once dissolved in water

Mineral precipitation from water results in the formation of chemical sedimentary rocks. When dissolved substances leave water, it precipitates.

A glass of water should be filled with salt (halite). In the water, the salt will disintegrate. The water, but not the salt, will evaporate if you place the container in a warm, dry environment (like Arizona). The concentration of salt rises as the water evaporates, and eventually the water will become saturated and be unable to dissolve any more salt. The salt will then precipitate in the glass as the water continues to evaporate and come out of solution.

Chemical sedimentary rocks typically referred to as evaporites are formed in this manner. Typically, they are composed of the minerals gypsum and halite (calcium chloride, or rock salt).

irinina [24]
Hi!

The majority of Earth is covered in water. So, we can immediately eliminate A and B. 

After looking at the statistics, the United States Geological Survey has determined 71% of Earth's surface is covered by water!

Hopefully, this helps! =)

Question 5(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points) (02.01 MC) Wegener's theory of continental drift was formulated at a time when eviden
Sergio039 [100]

The correct answer is - Seafloor spreading at the mid-ocean ridge provides the mechanism for tectonic plate movement.

Harry Hess is one of the people that is most important when it comes to the proving and world wide acceptance of the continental drift theory.

Hess was very interested in the topic, and he was constantly looking for clues that would bring light to it and finally have a definite proof of it. While sailing through the Atlantic and doing some examinations, Hess noticed that there high mountains in the water, having flat peaks, and being arranged in an interesting manner. These underwater mountains, named guyouts, were the highest at a certain point, and than on both sides, as the distance was increasing they were becoming smaller and smaller.

What Hess stumbled upon was the seafloor spreading and how it works, and he recognized that quickly. He immediately went on to share what he discovered, that there's magma coming from bellow, solidifying and spreading, thus creating new crust while pushing the old crust away from the center, which is the reason why the continents are moving.

Question Completion Status: One nano second times one kilometer/second is O a. 10-3m Ob. 10-6 m Oc 10+6m O d. 10-9m O e 10-12 km
iVinArrow [24]

Answer: 10^{-6}m

Explanation:

We are asked to multiply  1 nano sec with 1 km/sec.

The conversion used from nano second to second

1 nsec = 10^{-9}sec

The conversion used from km to meters:

1 km = 1000 m

1nsec\times 1\frac{km}{sec}

Putting the values we get:

10^{-9}sec\times {\frac{1000m}{sec}=10^{-9}\times 10^3m=10^{-6}m

Therefore, the given conversion is 10^{-6}m
