Answer:

Sedimentary rocks

Explanation:

  Sediments and chemical sedimentary rocks are classified according to chemical composition and can be:

    Carbonatics: formed by the accumulation of carbonate minerals (limestone and dolomites) - the most common on Earth. Can be generated by reefs, inorganic reactions or even of mixed origin.

    Evaporites: formed by the precipitation of salts in the evaporation of seawater and lakes in closed arid regions. The Marine evaporites are common in regions where the freshwater supply is small, the sea is closed and the climate is arid.

    There are also silica rocks (chert / precipitated silica - flint), phosphorites and ferruginous rocks. As well as oil basins, coal and natural gas, formed by the action of high temperatures and pressures on organic waste.

How are the land form of the eastern United States and Canada different from those of the western United States and Canada?
Marina86 [1]

The landforms on the east and western part of the continent are very different, with the main reason being that the western part is geologically very active, while the eastern lacks geological activity.

Explanation:

The eastern part of the United States and Canada, or rather the eastern part of the North American continent, is a region that lacks geological activity for millions of years. This region can roughly be divided into two parts, one being dominated by the Appalachian Mountain Range, and the other being the plains. The Appalachians are medium high mountains, being heavily eroded, with smaller slopes, and covered with dense forests. The plains stretch along the coastline, but they are also very wide, and move several hundred of km into the mainland, making big portion of this region flat lowlands.

The western part, on the other hand, is geologically very active. There are several young mountain ranges which are still growing. There is volcanic activity, faults, and plateaus between the mountains. The coastal plains are very small and narrow. Because of the shadow effect, between the mountains there are arid zones where deserts and steppes dominate.
