The answers would be:

Igneous Rocks - They are made from hot magma.

Sedimentary Rocks - They are made from weathered pieces of rock.

Metamorphic Rocks - They are rocks, small or large which reformed due to high temperature.

If you'd like to know more, read on:

Igneous rocks are formed when hot magma is cooled and then it hardens into a rock. The word igneous comes from the word, "ignis" which means "of fire. They can be formed beneath the Earth or on the surface.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from weathered pieces of rock. These pieces are called <u>sediments</u>. They can also be made out of other material. When these sediments settle, it continues to do so until so much sediment accumulate and they start to press down on each other. The sediments then start to go through compaction and sedimentation which for a sedimentary rock.

Metamorphic rocks form under heat and pressure. They are squeezed and shaped and go through <u>metamorphosis </u>or go through change. A metamorphic rock can be formed from any other type of rock as long as it goes through changes due to intense pressure and/or heat.

<h3>What is an earthquake?</h3>

Earthquakes occur as a result of collisions along oceanic-continental convergent boundaries.

The majority of the earthquakes occur alongside the Ring of Fire of the Pacific Ocean. The Ring of Fire is found in the basin which is a land area found close to the coastlines of the ocean. This validates its occurrence on land but close to the oceans.

Thus, option "A" is correct.

What do two different neutral isotopes of the same element have in common?
77julia77 [94]
The answer to this question is that two different neutral isotopes of the same element will have the same atomic number. This is due to them having the same number of protons, and it is these protons which determine the atomic number. However, these istotopes will have different masses due to a difference in the amount of neutrons.

An ecologist was observing two species of mouse that lived at different elevations on a mountain. In the lab, she observed that
dolphi86 [110]

The species had the same fundamental niche, but the high-altitude species was occupying a perceived niche, as it was inhabiting a different ecosystem, with different adaptations, but being the same species.

<h3>Why is the perceived niche considered a subset of the fundamental niche?</h3>

Well, as we know, the perceived niche is smaller than the fundamental niche, in other words it is a specific portion of the fundamental niche, so it is considered a subset of the fundamental niche.

With this information, we can conclude that the species had the same fundamental niche, but that the high-altitude species was occupying a perceived niche, as it was inhabiting a different ecosystem, with different adaptations, but being the same species.
