Answer:

Terrigenous

Explanation:

The sediments must have been land derieved.

Garnet and zircon are found associated with igneous and metamorphic rocks.

Weathering of these rocks release the minerals into sediments and are hereby transported into ocean basins. They can lithify in the sediments as they get carried along with them.

If global warming were to raise temperatures 1.5°C to 4.5°C, what would most-likely happen?
Pani-rosa [81]

The correct answers are:

- Polar ice caps would melt, increasing sea levels;

Because of the rise of the temperatures, the permafrost, glaciers, and polar ice caps would mostly melt. As they melt, they will increase the sea levels significantly because they will introduce much more water into the the seas and oceans.

- Wildlife would have to migrate or die;

With increasing sea levels, as well as change of habitats, lot of animals would find themselves in situation where they will have to migrate, because if they don't, they will find themselves in water and drown, or starve to death.

- Hurricanes and typhoons could increase in intensity;

Because the water in the sea levels will increase, and the water bodies will become even bigger, the hurricanes and typhoons will be able to become stronger and more intense, thus be more destructive as well.

Explain how large-scale agriculture leads to increased atmospheric CO2.
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Large scale agriculture will definitely lead to increased CO2.

Explanation:

This is due to the fact that plants give out oxygen and take in CO2 which is released by animals and man , so due to the large scale agriculture, the excess oxygen released by plants purifies the air of poisonous gases like carbon monoxide and leaving it with carbon dioxide- CO2.
