Answer:

It's caused by burial forces

Explanation:

When sediments are deposited on a basin they begin to accumulate over each others, generating a burial force that produces its compaction. Then, some calcite and silica cements help to join the sediments grains creating rocks. That's what geologists call lithification.

This process allow the formation of sedimentary rocks, which usually are laminated because of the horizontal position of sediments accumulation.

Answer: Physical/Mechanical Weathering

Explanation:

Weathering is the process that breaks down rocks into smaller particles like sediment and soil. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering. In this case, extreme heat during the day may have caused the rock to expand, only to shrink from the cold of the night. Over time, this weakened the structure of the rock, causing it to split and crumble, with outer layers flaking off in the process known as exfoliation.

diamong [38]

Answer:

9.2 m

Explanation:

Given that the length of the rope = 15 m

Angle it makes with the ground = 38°

The height of the Pole = x

We know that;

Sin 38° = x/15

Therefore;

x = 15 sin 38°

x= 9.2 m

Hence, it should be attached at 9.2 m
