How do igneous rocks change into sedimentary rocks?

Geography
1 answer:
Alinara [238K]3 years ago
5 0

The igneous rocks are the basic material for the formation of the two other rocks types, the sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. These rocks are the first that form. They form from the magma that has cooled inside the crust, or by the lava flows on the surface. Over time, the weathering and erosion start to break them apart little by little, creating sediments from them. These sediments are the founding block for the formation of the sedimentary rocks. Once these sediments are exposed to certain temperatures and pressures they start to become compact again, which is made possible through the cementation process that keeps them together. As more and more sediments are merged together, the sedimentary rocks are formed, and they can come in multiple different types, sizes, shapes, as well as compositions, and structures.

A threatened species is in danger of extinction in the immediate future.<br><br> true or false
MissTica

The correct answer is - False.

When a species is classified as threatened, it means that that particular species is expected to become endangered, not extinct. The species that are threatened, are species that have experienced a significant drop in numbers in recent times, but still have enough individuals to be able to survive and keep the species going. But if the situation starts to become worse and the species continues to lose numbers, than the species will fall into the category of endangered species, which will mean that it is expected that the species will die out in the very near future.
