6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

To have a chain of sedimentary rock as a mountain, we would have to reconstruct the geologic history of such terrain.

For a sedimentary rock to form, a basin of deposition is required to hold the sediments derieved from the country rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from weathered and eroded materials.

In the basin, the sediments begins to lie on top of one another to form sedimentary strata.

Diagenesis further lithifies the sediments and turns them into a sedimentary rock.

With time, as the area responds to regional uplift, Sedimentary basins can become Highlands.

At some convergent boundaries between two continental crusts, sediments that have been buried can become uplifted by convergence.

Continental margins have nearly the same densities. Instead of subduction, mountain building process occurs due to an uplift of the terrane.

Do any of you have any idea what it’s asking ??
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

It is asking what type of environment was the rock formed in. For example, metamorphic rock and sedimentary rocks are formed at different levels of temperature and pressure. To solve the problem start off with trying to identify the type of rock (igneous,metamorphic, sedimentary,etc.) and then figure out what conditions those rocks form in. I hope this helps! Good luck!

Distance east or west of the prime meridian is measured in degrees of?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

<u>Longitude </u>measure the distance east to west of the prime meridian that runs through greenwich england. Degrees are denoted by the greek word lamba.

Explanation:

  • Longitude gives us an angular measurement from 0 to 180 degrees. Subdivided into 60 minutes and 60 seconds. As longitude is singular at the poles.
  • Earth's tectonic plates move relative to one another in different directions at the speed of 50 to 100mm per year so the movement sin tectonic plates influence the latitudinal rotation which changes from year to year.  
  • These vertical lines define the places on the earth with their approximate sea level surfaces. The longitudinal belt is the equator at the zero degrees largest longitude on earth.
