I would sort them into the categories of metamorphic rock, sedimentary rock, and igneous rock.

Igneous rocks are made from the cooling and solidifying of lava or magma. Pumice is one of these rocks, it's made from lava being thrown out of volcano, and rapidly cooling. Obsidian and granite the other igneous rocks in the list.

Sedimentary rocks are made from the sedimentation of smaller particles. Coquina limestone is one of these - it's made from the sedimentation of the shells of dead animals.

Metamorphic rocks are rocks which are created by extreme heat and pressure. Essentially, they used to be a different kind of rock, and now they're metamorphic rocks. Gneiss and soapstone are both metamorphic rocks.

So here are your final answers:

Igneous: Granite, Obsidian, Pumice

Sedimentary: Coquina limestone

Metamorphic: Gneiss, Soapstone

Hope this helped!

Describe 1 environmental issue in Europe and how they affect the environment and its citizens. What can be done to correct this
sertanlavr [38]

Answer: Plastic Pollution

In 1950, the world produced more than 2 million tons of plastic per year. By 2015, this annual production swelled to 419 million tons and exacerbating plastic waste in the environment.  

A report by science journal, Nature, determined that currently, roughly 11 million tons of plastic make its way into the oceans every year, harming wildlife habitats and the animals that live in them. The research found that if no action is taken, the plastic crisis will grow to 29 million metric tons per year by 2040. If we include microplastics into this, the cumulative amount of plastic in the ocean could reach 600 million tons by 2040.

Shockingly, National Geographic found that 91% of all plastic that has ever been made is not recycled, representing not only one of the biggest environmental problems of our lifetime, but another massive market failure. Considering that plastic takes 400 years to decompose, it will be many generations until it ceases to exist. There’s no telling what the irreversible effects of plastic pollution will have on the environment in the long run.

What is located at equal distance from the North Pole and south pole
Vlad [161]
The PERIMETER of the equator cycle is about 40,000Km. The Greenwich cycle is a bit shorter as the earth is a bit an ellipsoid. About 37,000Km by Google Maps. The distance on the envelope between ANY antipodes (=opposite points on the axis, I won't use "diameter" to avoid confusion) is HALF the perimeter (If you walk the whole perimeter long, you'd get to the same point, of course). The distance through Earth is

D=P/Pi=37,000Km/Pi=about11777Km

Astronomers use various tools to gather evidence in support of the Big Bang Theory.
Scorpion4ik [409]

The two tools used are:

  • A relationship existence between a galaxy's distance from Earth and also that of its speed.
  • The findings in the 1960s of  the presence of cosmic microwave background radiation.

<h3>What evidence is collected by each tool?</h3>

The evidence to support the big bang are:

  • There was found to be some red shifts of a lot of galaxies which connote that the universe is widening.  
  • Due to the widening of universe, new elements were formed such as hydrogen, deuterium and others.
  • Microwaves were found by orbiting detectors.

Therefore, The two tools used are:

  • A relationship existence between a galaxy's distance from Earth and also that of its speed.
  • The findings in the 1960s of  the presence of cosmic microwave background radiation.
