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.

Neko [114]

The government holds strongly the social media and it decides what can go through and what not, with the majority of the content being focused around the government and positives about it, showing the opposition in bad light, and even more, showing the enemies of the country is evil and that they constantly plot something against them.

What global religion originated in south asia?
zysi [14]
 <span>Hinduism originated in South Asia and is the dominant religion there today. The Vedas, as well as classic indian customs formed modern day Hinduism. Before the rise of Hinduism, Buddhism was the most popular religion in India, especially along the Ganges and south (Tamilnad) India, so aspects of Buddhism were also incorporated into Hinduism to increase its appeal. In hindu belief, Buddha is the 7th reincarnation of Vishnu. In the years following this Buddhism was essentially exiled, and thus is a minority religion in modern India</span>

Most mountains on Earth occur in huge ranges stretching for thousands
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Plate tectonics

Explanation:

Expansive ranges of mountains seen on the earth surface can be best attributed to the concept or theory of plate tectonics.

According to this theory, the earth is broken into series of slabs called lithosphere which moves over the weak and semi solid asthenosphere below.

  • The plate interactions beneath leads to the formation of different topographies on the earth surface.
  • Most mountain ranges can be ascribed to either plate convergence or divergence.
  • During plate convergence, they grind against one another and builds up mountains.
  • At a divergent margin, magma wells up and it is cools and solidifies covering an extensive expanse of area.
