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.

Match the gastric phase on the left (1-3) with the correct description on the right (4-6):

dem82 [27]

Answer:

1 and 5,

2 and 6,

3 and 4

Explanation:

Intestinal phase: stomach empties and decreases secretions

The intestinal phase is the phase where stomach empties its contents(chyme) and decreases secretion. In this stage the duodenum responds to arriving chyme and moderates gastric activity through hormones and nervous reflexes.

The Chyme is the semi-fluid mass of partly digested food that is expelled by the stomach, through the pyloric valve, into the duodenum.

Gastric phase: stomach secretes juice and mixes food into chyme

The gastric phase is a period in which swallowed food and semi-digested protein ( peptides and amino acids ) activate gastric activity which secretes juice and mixes food into chyme. About two-thirds of gastric secretion occurs during this phase.

Cephalic phase: prepares stomach for arrival of food

The cephalic phase of digestion is the gastric secretion that occurs prior to when food enters the oral cavity. Cephalic phase result from the ignition of visual, olfactory, and auditory inputs to the brain and also induce anticipatory responses i.e prepare the gastrointestinal tract for the meal.
