Sedimentary rock is one of the three main rock groups (along with igneous and metamorphic rocks) and is formed in four main ways: by the deposition of the weathered remains of other rocks (known as 'clastic' sedimentary rocks); by the accumulation and the consolidation of sediments; by the deposition of the results of biogenic activity; and by precipitation from solution.

Answer:

Cooling

Explanation:

Rocks are of different types. One of those types is the Sedimentary rock, which is the type made from sediments of rocks that have once existed. These rocks don't just appear out of nowhere, they gradually develop in a series of processes. The processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks are: weathering, eroding, transportation, deposition and cementation.

Weathering, which is the first process, involves breaking down of pre-existing rocks which are then carried by certain physical forces like wind, water etc. This process is called erosion. The washed material is then transported away from the original site, to be deposited in another environment. The deposited material/sediments then undergo a compaction and cementing process where the rock particles glue together to eventually form the sedimentary rock. This process is called Lithification.

Therefore, cooling is not one of the processes that forms sedimentary rocks.

Answer:

The North American Plate

Explanation:

Generally, earthquakes are located at the boundaries between plates where they collide, or grind past each other, or spread apart. New York City lies within the North American plate and the closest plate boundary is thousands of miles away in the middle of the Atlantic.

boyakko [2]

Answer:

The correct model is D.

Note: The first attachment below shows the different models. The second attachment shows the correct structural model of the water molecule.

Explanation:

A water molecule is composed of one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen.

A water molecule is polar, i.e. it contains positively and negatively opposite ends. The polar nature of the water molecule is due to strong electronegativity of oxygen which results in an uneven sharing of the bonding electrons between oxygen and hydrogen. The oxygen atom attracts the shared electrons more to itself, thereby, it acquires a partial negative charge, while the hydrogen atoms acquire a partial positive charge.

The bond angle between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms is approximately 105°. Therefore, from the first attachment below, the correct model for the water molecule is D.
