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.

Answer:

1) The ecosystem would have the abiotic factors of low precipitation, dry winds, and low temperatures. The biotic factors would include the animals living with the penguins such as polar bears and yaks.

2) The population would suddenly increase if either the penguin's predators had a drop in numbers or if the penguin's food source became more readily available. This growth in population would result in food becoming harder to find and predators once again growing in numbers. This would eventually cause the penguin population to shrink once more.

3) Predators would die out. Whatever organism(s) were the penguin's food source would grow in size exponentially. Other animals may suffer a drop in numbers if the penguin's predators choose to prey on them.
