How do igneous rocks change into sedimentary rocks?

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.

Colliding boundaries are convergent so the boundary would be convergent.

Problem 3. In meteorology, what is meant by the term "inversion"? Give an example of where in the atmosphere you might find an i

Answer:

<u>Inversion is found in upper layer sf troposphere.</u>

Explanation:

When there is a decrease temperature t every 3.5 degrees for every 100 feet. As when this normal cycle is present the air said to be unstable and constantly flows between the warm and cold areas.

During inversion temperature decrease with the increasing altitudes. temperature inversion can occur in areas of coastal origins due to the upwelling of cold waters.

Topography plays a role as cold and cool air flows from the mountain peaks down into valleys. This cold air then is pushed back due to the warm and lighter air mass and hence creating an invention.
