Sedimentary rock formation occurs when igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks are exposed to the unyielding forces of

nature found on the Earth's surface. The formation of sedimentary rock occurs by several processes over millions of years. When rock sediments are deposited, an increase in weight causes pressure to increase which leads to the compaction of the rock particles. Water is pushed out and cementation occurs as dissolved minerals are deposited in the very small spaces between the rock sediments acting as glue that binds the sediments together. Which process describes the changing of sediments into rock by compaction and cementation? A) Deposition B) Lithification C) Physical weathering D) Chemical weathering

Describe how continents and coeans are carried on tectontic plates
horsena [70]
Seems very basic, the ocean is above the plate, the plate material is heavier than water (it being rock). That's pretty much all of it. The plates grind a little and new land pushes up at plate boundaries but this does not seem to be related. The heavier material is below and the lighter above, those being rock and water respectively.

Which one is best adapted to live in open water in the epipelagic zone, and why?
shusha [124]

<u>Answer</u>: Fish A because of its elongated body and powerful tail.

<u>Explanation</u>: An elongated body gives the fish a streamlined or fusiform shape. This enables them to slide more esily through water, thus decreasing the energy expenditure of the fish for swimming. Powerfull tails also enables them to swim over long distances as well as bursts of speed. This speed capability is vital when the fish will either try to avoid a predator or, if it is a predator itself, catch its prey.
