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.

When plate tectonics cause cracks to form, ________________.
Simora [160]

The answer is B.

During plate tectonics, cracks may occur in the earth crust that causes magma to rise up from the mantle. The cracks may also cause cracks to form on the crust that makes outlet channels for the magma in magma chambers. These result in volcanic eruptions on the surface of the earth that form volcanic features such as mountains.
