This periodic rise and fall of waters over the land lead to the deposition of many layers of sediment and the formation of sedimentary (D) rocks.

Sedimentary stones are formed from the matter which is deposited by the passage of water, ice, or wind: minerals, fragments of preexisting rocks or fossils, etc. Indiana's bedrock surface is made out of sedimentary rocks such as:

  • limestone,
  • dolomite,
  • shale,
  • gypsum,
  • sandstone,
  • siltstone.

These rocks are important to Indiana's economy because of their mineable potential.

"a geologist is studying sediments on land that were originally deep sea sediments. she finds the minerals zircon and garnet in
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Terrigenous

Explanation:

The sediments must have been land derieved.

Garnet and zircon are found associated with igneous and metamorphic rocks.

Weathering of these rocks release the minerals into sediments and are hereby transported into ocean basins. They can lithify in the sediments as they get carried along with them.

Terrigenous sediments originates from the land. They are made of rock materials and volcanic deposits. Some of them like volcanic dusts can travel into deeper parts of the oceans as they are lighter and can be carried very far into the ocean.

How often does earth magnetic.field change dirrection?​
prisoha [69]

Answer:

That is much less often than in the last 150 million years, when the field has flipped every 600,000 years. In the last 10-20 million years it has sped up even more, to once every 200,000-250,000 years. "The evidence points to a more stable field in the very far past and fewer reversals," says Veikkolainen.

Dedu influenta caldurii interne a pamantului asupra proceselor tectonice endogene
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

No heat no endogenous tectonic processes.

Explanation:

There is a great influence of the earth's internal heat on endogenous tectonic processes  because the internal heat causes the plates to melt due to which earthquakes occur. Without this internal heat of earth, no endogenous tectonic processes occur because these processes require heat to happen so we can say that internal heat of the earth has a great impact on the happening of endogenous tectonic processes.
