A mineral is a naturally occurring,inorganic, crystalline substance that aggregate to form rocks. Geologists separate minerals into classes based on their chemical composition. The different classes of minerals include halides, oxides, phosphates and sillicates.  Rocks are usually classified based on the grouping and composition of minerals in rocks.

The Ghana Empire increased greatly in size and wealth between 700 A.D. And 1100 A.D. How was the empire able to grow so powerful
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: D

Explanation: The Ghana Empire, properly known as Wagadou (as Ghana was the title of its ruler), was a West African empire located in the area occupied by present-day southeastern Mauritania and western Mali. Although complex societies based on trans-Saharan trade in salt and gold had existed in the region for centuries, the introduction of the camel to the western Sahara in the 3rd century CE, opened the way to great changes in the area that eventually became the Ghana Empire.

The Ghana Empire grew rich from increased trans-Saharan trade in gold and salt, allowing for larger urban centres to develop. With these commodities being transported and traded through Ghana, the Kingdom was able to become very wealthy by taxing the goods that came through the trade center. It also helped that Ghana had many trade routes that were well protected by its large military force as this encouraged other merchants to come to Ghana for trade.

Pieces and full petrified logs in a barren area with mountains in the background.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The area was once a forest.

The area was uplifted.

The area was buried in sediment.

The area was probably covered by water.

Petrification of a dead plant or animal organisms occurs when rock mineral displaces the organic elements in the structure of the biotic matter or these minerals seep in between the spaces and pores within the dead plant or organism and become part of the material.

Explanation:

Petrification occurs under high pressure. This is why this process occurs in the crust after layers of sediments create enough pressure on the dead organic matter buried in with the sediments. This phenomenon commonly begins on the ocean floor where dead marine life sinks to the bottom and is buried by sediments over many years.  

Occasionally, tectonic plate forces uplift these petrified fossils from deep in the crust exposing them on the surface like in this case.
