Answer:

Three separate process can lead to the lithification of sediments. During Compaction,the weight of accumulating sediment reduces pore space and forces out water from a sediment. Cementation occurs when ions dissolves in a solution precipitate out,forming minerals that hold the grains together.Pressure can lead to Re crystallization, which causes less stable minerals to rearrange crystals into more stable forms.

Explanation:

Compaction-This is a process by which the soil density is increased by removing the air which is present in the soil pores through mechanical action.

This process is used to improve the soil strength.

Cementation-This is the process through minerals are stored into the pores of the soil to increase the fertility of the soil.

Re crystallization-This is a metamorphic process that is obtained by providing pressure and temperature which causes change in mineral composition and rearrange them into a more stable form.

If Earth's atmosphere did not contain greenhouse gasses and was only composed of Nitrogen and Oxygen, by how much would Earth's
Flauer [41]

Answer: 1- Option (D)

              2- Option (A)

Explanation:

The green house gases plays a significant role in the earth's global temperature. In absence of green house gas, the earth would have been very much cold and life would would be difficult to exist. The average global temperature would have been about -15°C to 25°C. So the most favorable answer given here is that the<u> earth's temperature would have decrease by about 60°C</u>.

<u>Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is not the most abundant green house gas</u>. It is the second most abundant. The present composition of CO₂ in the atmosphere is about 0.04% by volume. A small increase in the CO₂ level, can lead to a global rise in the temperature. Hence, <u>the above statement is false.</u>

in 1990, world rice production was 350 million tons. in 1999 it had risen to 400 million tons . what was the percentage increase
larisa [96]
In 1990 rice production= 350 million tons 

In 1999 rice production = 400 million tons 


400-350= 50 million ton increase 

50/350=.1428   To calculate the percentage increase you divide the total amount increased by the initial amount to determine the percent. 

Therefore the world rice production increased by approximately 14% from 1990 to 1999.

What are 4 effects of hurricane maria on Puerto Rico or Dominica​
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Hey mate.....

Explanation:

This is ur answer....

<em>Hurricane Maria left Puerto Rico without clean food and water for more than 6 months, leaving people to deal with crippling emotional damage, and having to evacuate people from their homes. Maria made landfall on Puerto Rico on September 20 at high-end Category 4 status, bringing a large storm surge, very heavy rains, and wind gusts well above 100 mph (160 km/h), flattening neighborhoods and crippling the island's power grid. When Hurricane Maria struck Dominica in September 2019, more than 90 percent of the island's structures were destroyed and leaves were ripped from trees. Today, the people of Dominica are rebuilding with the knowledge that climate change could mean a future of storms like Maria.</em>
