The Gibraltar rock is a limestone, therefore it is a sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks are made by the dethronement and squeezing of small fragments.dimentary rock. It has sediments.
Answer:
Explanation:
A convergent boundary (also known as a destructive boundary) is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other, a process known as subduction. The subduction zone can be defined by a plane where many earthquakes occur, called the Wadati–Benioff zone.[1] These collisions happen on scales of millions to tens of millions of years and can lead to volcanism, earthquakes, orogenesis, destruction of lithosphere, and deformation. Convergent boundaries occur between oceanic-oceanic lithosphere, oceanic-continental lithosphere, and continental-continental lithosphere. The geologic features related to convergent boundaries vary depending on crust types.
Plate tectonics is driven by convection cells in the mantle. Convection cells are the result of heat generated by radioactive decay of elements in the mantle escaping to the surface and the return of cool materials from the surface to the mantle.[2] These convection cells bring hot mantle material to the surface along spreading centers creating new crust. As this new crust is pushed away from the spreading center by the formation of newer crust, it cools, thins, and becomes denser. Subduction begins when this dense crust converges with less dense crust. The force of gravity helps drive the subducting slab into the mantle.[3] As the relatively cool subducting slab sinks deeper into the mantle, it is heated, causing hydrous minerals to break down. This releases water into the hotter asthenosphere, which leads to partial melting of asthenosphere and volcanism. Both dehydration and partial melting occurs along the 1,000 °C (1,830 °F) isotherm, generally at depths of 65 to 130 km (40 to 81 mi).[4][5]
Some lithospheric plates consist of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. In some instances, initial convergence with another plate will destroy oceanic lithosphere, leading to convergence of two continental plates. Neither continental plate will subduct. It is likely that the plate may break along the boundary of continental and oceanic crust. Seismic tomography reveals pieces of lithosphere that have broken off during convergence
Answer:
D) how sunlight intensity affects plant community composition in the zone where a forest transitions into a meadow
Explanation:
Microclimate is the climate only in a small area within a bigger area. Or the climate of a specific section that is different from its surrounding areas.
The example above, is considered a study on microcliimate because the study is limited to only the "zone" where a forest transitions into a meadow and it does not consider the climate of the surroundings of that zone.
The other options are more broad, but the last one is more specific in terms of the location.
Answer:
Explanation:
dependant= loss of mass of the plant (not sure) as you're measuring it i guess? or it may be transpiration. which one are you actually measuring
independent=light of intensity as you're changing
The answer is B. Cholera
The other options are caused by a virus. Cholera was caused by bacterium Vibrio Cholera. The classic symptom of cholera is diarrhea that lasts for a few days. It could result in life threatening dehydration and electrolyte imbalance
Cholera is infected between 3 - million people worldwide, while it's considered as a pandemic, it rarely happens in a developed country like the U.S.A.
I hope I helped! =D
