Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are those rocks that are formed due to the compaction and lithification of sediments.

When the rocks are weathered by the agents such as wind, water and ice, the sediments or the particles are carried from that particular area to a different place. The sediments are then continuously deposited in a different place. As a result of which the sediments are accumulated over one another, forming layers. These sediments over a due course of time undergoes compaction and solidification due to the weight of the overlying rocks. This is how the sedimentary rocks are formed. Some of the examples of sedimentary rocks are sandstone, limestone, shale, and mudstone.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

b. air and soil

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.

What evidence shows that white dwarfs must be very small?
Drupady [299]

Spectral analysis proposes that there is no hydrogen fusion roughly speaking. They are hot since they are very thick. So if you are a convinced high density and temperature and still not doing synthesis, you must be small. Also, stellar evolution models are founded on the observation of planetary nebulae, where stars have shed most of their mass after being red giants. The physics designates a small, hot, central remainder.
