Answer:

c. numerous collisions between particles during extensive transportation.

Explanation:

A clast is a smaller grain of the rock broken off by the other rocks occurring by the physical weathering or whether in suspension as a bedload and occurs in sediment deposits.

The angular grains that formed due to the erosion of clastic rocks that form part of the sedimentary rocks are an effect of the mineralogical components of the rocks that make up the blogs of the silicate particles that are derived from the weathering of the older rocks namely as in the form of Conglomerates and breccias, Sandstones, and the Mudrocks.

Thus there are changes in the composition, and texture of the rocks surfaces and an example of a clastic environment could be a river system where the full range of grains are being transported by the moving water consist of eroded particles from solid rock upstream.

Which is an example of humans interacting with their environment

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer : 

There are three ways in which humans and environment interact with each other : 

Humans Depend on the Environment: The natural environment is made up of living things and non living things. Humans depend on the natural environment for their basic needs; food, shelter, and clothing.
Humans Modify the Environment: People modify (change) the natural environment to meet their needs. For example, they build dams, plow and irrigate fields, and dig mines. They build houses, schools, and shopping centers on land. This also includes human's impact on the earth's health. Creating pollution, litter and carbon dioxide all affect the earth's condition.
Humans Adapt to the Environment: Humans have settled in virtually every corner of the world by successfully adapting to various natural settings. 
have settled in virtually every corner of the world by successfully adapting to various natural settings. For example, people who live in the northern United States use heating units to keep their homes warm in winter. People in the southern part of the United States use air conditioning most of the year to stay cool in the heat. In addition, in countries where earthquakes are common homes and buildings are built to survive an earthquake.

____can give clues about the cooling speeds of magmas, the presence of water beneath the surface or even the intensity of past c

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The grain size

Explanation:

The grain size can provide lot of clues for us when it comes to the formation of the rocks, the conditions in which they formed, and even what happened after their initial formation. The reason for this is that the grains vary in size and shape depending on the conditions in which the rocks formed. If the magma/lava cooled of quickly, the grains will be very small, almost unnoticeable, and that is a sign that the cooling appeared on the surface, very close to it, or in the presence of water. On the other hand, if the magma cooled slowly, the grains will be large and well defined, and that is a sign that the magma was cooling off slowly, deep into the crust, where there's higher temperature and pressure.
