Four basic processes are involved in the formation of a clastic sedimentary rock: weathering (erosion)caused mainly by friction of waves, transportation where the sediment is carried along by a current, deposition and compaction where the sediment is squashed together to form a rock of this kind.

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

True (although question is not clear enough)

Explanation:

Adaptive radiation occurs when organisms evolve from the same ancestor. This process takes place as a result of environmental changes or when they are introduced to or colonize a new environment. These changes become challenges that force these individuals to adapt to these new conditions.

Therefore, this results into a faster evolution that creates different new forms that possess a diversity of variations adapted to their new feeding habits, environment, and behavioral needs.

One of the most famous examples of adaptive radiation is the formation of new forms of Galapagos finches. These striking finches, which arose from a common ancestor, evolved different beak sizes and shapes that were especially adapted to different types of food. As different as they may appear, they are closely related!

DENIUS [597]

One of the major functions of erythrocytes (also known as red blood cells) is to carry blood gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide around the body. Red blood cells contain the pigment haemoglobin which binds to oxygen and carries it around the body, releasing it and allowing the process of aerobic respiration.

RUDIKE [14]

This is a case of acute or chronic (or acute on chronic) kidney disease. Mateo should take diuretics or drugs that induce tubular secretion and/or water excretion and therefore urination. If kidney disease worsens, the patient will undergo filtration of waste products from his blood or this is called hemodialysis. There is another way of filtering waste products using the fluid in the peritoneum called peritoneal dialysis. Other complications of chronic kidney disease is anemia as erythropoeitin (functions to signal the production of red blood cells) is produced in the kidneys.
