pshichka [43]3 years ago

Explanation:

When sandstone is overlaid by layers and layers of sediment, it becomes subject to enormous pressure and temperature beneath the layers and its grain structure begins to change. The force of compactness causes grain structure and size to reform. This is called metamophism., The sandstone becomes a new rock called quartzite.  The two rocks will have different properties. Quartzite will have larger crystals and will be hard and smooth while sandstone will be coarse and soft.

Is a owl a specialists or generalists
Troyanec [42]
The owl is a generalists creature/species because it is able to thrive in a wide variety of environmental conditions and can make use of a variety of different resources (for example, a heterotroph with a varied diet). A specialist species can only thrive in a narrow range of environmental conditions or has a limited diet. Most organisms do not all fit neatly into either group, however. Some species are highly specialized (the most extreme case being monophagy), others less so, while some can tolerate many different environments. In other words, there is a continuum from highly specialized to broadly generalist species.
