Answer:

Diatoms

Explanation:

Diatoms are a photosynthetic eukaryotic phytoplankton that virtually found in all waterways, fresh waters and  oceans, and also in most soils on earth. Diatoms play a very important role in the global carbon cycle. Diatoms are single-celled algae that has a characteristics cell wall that is made up of transparent opaline silicia that are elegantly sculpted.

When diatoms die, their shell or skeleton that is composed of silica, do not decay, but settle at the bottom of oceans as sediments to form what is often referred to as diatomaceous earth. It is this diatomaceous earth deposit that is then converted to diatomite powder, which is used as pesticides against insects such as ants, cockroaches, bedbugs and some other pests.

Answer:

Igneous rocks form when magma (molten rock) cools and crystallizes, either at volcanoes on the surface of the Earth or while the melted rock is still inside the crust.

Sedimentary rocks are erosion, weathering, dissolution, precipitation, and lithification. Erosion and weathering include the effects of wind and rain, which slowly break down large rocks into smaller ones.

Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.
