Answer:

Limestone is an example of biochemical sedimentary rock.

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are those that have been formed due to the accumulation of sediments over time from other rocks or organic remains. They correspond to 75% of the rocks in the world, being the most abundant.

Sedimentary rocks are generally classified, according to the way in which they are produced, in detritic or clastic, and chemical or non clastic; within the latter, there is a subcategory known as biochemistry.

Chemical sedimentary rocks are those that originate from materials deposited by chemical means, where the crystals are held together by chemical bonds or interwoven into each other. The materials, already dissolved, are transported and concentrated to form minerals that accumulate in aggregares and subsequently are lithified as in detritic rocks, to form a rock. Almost all of these rocks originate from chemical precipitation in extensions of surface water, either by inorganic chemical processes or by the chemical activity of organisms. Rocks formed by the activity of organisms are known as biochemical sedimentary rocks.

A clear example is limestone.

Describe each part of the geosphere including the parts that make up the lithosphere
snow_lady [41]

The geosphere is considered that portion of the Earth system that includes the Earth's interior, rocks and minerals, landforms and the processes that shape the Earth's surface. The geosphere may be taken as the collective name for the

  • hydrosphere (The hydrosphere is the liquid water component of the Earth. It includes the oceans, seas, lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. The hydrosphere covers about 70% of the earth surface)
  • cryosphere (The cryosphere is the frozen water part of the Earth system. The Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska. One part of the cryosphere is ice that is found in water),
  • atmosphere( is a layer or a set of layers of gases surrounding a planet or other material body)
  • lithosphere is the substantial, outer part of the Earth. The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth’s structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere below. The lithosphere is further subdivided into tectonic plates. The lithosphere is the most rigid of Earth’s layers.

What chemical reaction is Energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O → 6O2 + C6H12O6
Darya [45]

This is the chemical formula for photosynthesis.  Instead of just saying "Energy," however, it should specify solar energy, or light energy.  Photosynthesis is the process of capturing solar energy and converting it to chemical energy.
