Answer:

B. lithification.

Explanation:

The term lithification is derived from the Greek language. And it could help you remember the meaning of this term if you remember that the prefix ‘lithos’ is Greek for ‘rock’. So, we are really looking at rock making when we study lithification. There are two main ways in which lithification occurs: compaction and cementation.

Compaction is the consolidation of sediments due to the intense pressing weight of the superimposed deposits. Compaction occurs when sediments are buried. This literally crushes the sediment grains together, compressing them into a dough. With enough pressure and the passage of time, the beans are reorganized and organized more, as well as winning a Tetris game where most of the falling chips fit perfectly together. As the sediments consolidate, the original pore space that divided them is reduced and the water that was in those spaces is squeezed.

Another way in which sediment lithification occurs is through cementation. Cementation is the process by which dissolved minerals crystallize and stick the sediment grains.

Neko [114]

Answer:

The best answer is A, "Mostly decayed matter with tiny rock particles.

Explanation:

Sand is one of the poorest soils, it has very, very low water holding capacity, as well as nutrients. I found the answer because we know it is not B, because sand does not have large rock particles, and we know that it is not c because sand has a very low water holding capacity. And we know that it is not D because it is kinda obvious that sand is not only found on the beach.

Really hope this helps! If I got it right can I have Brainliest?

Match the place to the letter that represents it on the map.
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The Caribbean Sea - B

Panama - C

Belize - A

Nicaragua - F

Guatemala - G

El Salvador - E

Costa Rica - D

Honduras - H

Explanation:

The region shown on the map is Central America, but also the Caribbean Sea. This region, geographically speaking, is part of North America because it lies on the North American plate, but very often it is put as a separate region known as Central America, or rather the part of the Americas that connect North and South America. East of this region is located the Caribbean Sea, while west of is the Pacific Ocean

Central America is a region that was formerly a Spanish colony, with the exception of Belize, and this can be seen easily in the culture and languages that are spoken, with the Spanish dominating in six of the seven countries, while in Belize it is the English that is dominant. Five of the countries of Central America have access to both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, giving them an excellent strategic location. The region is almost entirely dominated by a tropical wet climate and it is covered with tropical rainforests. While many things seem to be excellent for these countries to be well developed and to have going well, they still struggle a lot, mainly because of internal conflicts.
