Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • As the sedimentary and igneous and metamorphic rocks are distinct from each other as they appear on the landscape but show similar internal properties and thus allowing us to recognize them from a distance.
  • <u>Sedimentary Rocks range from shake sandstone to limestone and conglomerate. While Metamorphic i.e foliated being Slate, Phyllite, Schist, and Gneiss, etc. While the Nonfoliated Metamorphic rocks  are Quartzite and Marble</u>.
  • Rocks revolve in there set rock cycle forming distinctive and newer rocks over the geologic time scale of earth. As each rock type is altered with force to produce the fro example a basalt rock when subducted and could be merged with the mantel to form in the water cycle.
  • As these are called secondary changes in the evolutionary phases of rocks which then can<u> transition into metamorphic rocks through the process of mountain building in the orographic belt</u>s.  
  • As a result, other rocks are recrystallized to form a sedimentary rock in its next phase which is unstable and subject to weathering. Transitions deeply impact the chemical and physical properties of rocks.

agasfer [191]

(A) A and B are the two letters that represent gulfs.

<h3>What are gulfs?</h3>
  • A gulf is a large inlet from the ocean into the continent, usually having a narrower opening than a bay, however, this is not always the case in all geographical places thus named.
  • The term gulf was traditionally applied to huge, indented areas of saline water surrounded by a coastline.
  • Many gulfs, including the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of Finland, and the Gulf of Aden, are important shipping lanes.
  • The United States Gulf Coast, often known as the Gulf South, is the coastline that runs along the southern United States where it meets the Gulf of Mexico.

Therefore, (A) A and B are the two letters that represent gulfs.
