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).

Thousands of years from now, a continental plate begins to collide with an oceanic plate. which of the following landforms would
gregori [183]
As the two plates collide,the denserr oceanic plate will subduct under the less dense continential plate, causing the continential plate to arch up and form a mountain range.

Let's look into it one by one:

A. An underwater mountain range will will run along the boundary on the oceanic plate. - This is false.

As the oceanic plate subducts under the continential plate, there is no chance for the denser material to accumulate while subducting. What would be find instead is ocean trench.

B. A mountain range will form in the middle of the continental plate. - This is false.

Although pressure will be applied and there would be stress accumulating on the continential plate, the middle is very unlikely to be affected.

C. A mountain range will run along the boundary on the continental plate. - This is true.

As the subduction happens, the continential plate will accumulate as it is less dense. The rock would fold up to form mountain ranges. For example, Rockies is one off the mountain range along the plate.

D. A chain of islands will form along the boundary of the oceanic plate. - This is false.

Similarly to A. it is not possible for the plate to accumulate when it slides under the other plate.

Therefore the answer is C. A mountain range will run along the boundary on the continental plate.

Hope it helps!

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

When the side of the earth that faces the moon experiences a high tide, the side of the earth that is opposite from the moon will have a<u> high tide.</u>

Explanation:

During the rotation of Earth , moon pulls the Earth , since  it is close to Earth .

As moon pulls Earth , it also pulls the water in the oceans , and water can move quite easily and the ocean's water tries to bulge towards the direction of the moon . This process is known as tidal force .

Due to this tidal force , some portion of the ocean will bulge out  , and this bulge is referred to as high tide.
