Extrusion is NOT a process involved in the formation of sedimentary rock.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>Sedimentary rocks </h3>
  • Sedimentary rocks are types of rocks that are formed through accumulation of sediments at low temperatures in tectonic layers and sinks. These sediments includes; pebbles, shells, sand and other material fragments.  
  • The sediments accumulates in layers and then harden into rocks over a period of time.
  • Examples of sedimentary rocks include; limestone and conglomerate
  • There are five basic steps involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks:
  1. Weathering (making the sediment by breaking down or dissolving preexisting rocks or living organisms)
  2. Erosion (picking up the sediment by water, wind, or glaciers)
  3. Transportation (moving the sediment by water, wind, or glaciers)
  4. Deposition (depositing the sediment)
  5. Lithification (turning the sediment to rock).
<h3>Other types of rocks</h3><h3>Metamorphic rocks</h3>
  • These are types of rocks that are formed as a result of changes that occurs due to intense heat and pressure under the surface of the earth. They result from action of heat and pressure on other rocks that pre-existed.
  • These types of rocks are characterized by shiny crystals, ribbon-like layers among other features.
  • Examples of metamorphic rocks are marble and gneiss
<h3>Igneous rocks </h3>
  • These are types of rocks that are formed as a result hardening and cooling of magma from volcanic eruptions. Magma may cool inside the earth or when on the surface of the earth as a result of volcanic eruptions. The lava from this eruptions cools and hardens to form metamorphic rocks.
  • Igneous rocks are glass-like and shiny with no crystals. They may also have tiny spaces and holes due to gas bubbles trapped during the cooling process.
  • Examples of igneous rocks include obsidian and basalt.
  • The three types of rocks may be further classified in terms of chemical composition, texture and formation.

Key words: Rocks, sedimentary rocks

How does clear cutting compare with selective cutting, and why is selective cutting considered more sustainable than clear cutti
Katyanochek1 [597]
Selective logging—the practice of removing one or two trees and leaving the rest intact—is often considered a sustainable alternative to clear-cutting, in which a large swath of forest is cut down, leaving little behind except wood debris and a denuded landscape

During what stage does land get ready for the arrival of a new species
34kurt

Answer

           The correct option is B.

Explanation

          Ecological succession of any species is composed of following stages:

A. Migration

            The movement of species from one place to another location for the purpose of setting permanently o temporary is known as migration . Forexample

             Siberian crane (<em>Leucogeranus leucogeranus</em>) that live in the arctic tundra of eastern and western Russia. The eastern population of birds migrate to china while western population of these birds migrate to Iran, India and Nepal during winter season.

B. Ecesis

         The complete establishment of species in new habitat that was completely barren or left barren due to some catastrophe is known as Ecesion. This process is dependent upon the climatic, edaphic and biotic factors. The success of plant depend upon some of the adaptations to withstand the unfavorable conditions which includes both biotic and abiotic conditions.

Forexample

               The process of succession in xerosphere start on barren area from pioneer stage covered by crustose lichen, then foliose lichen followed by moss stage, herbaceous stage and a last by shrub stage.

C. Nudation

       The initiation of new species by major environmental disturbance such as volcano eruption is known as Nudation.

D. Reaction

            It represents the effect of established species on the habitat. Forexample plants alter habitat condition as they grow. They extract raw materials from the environment in large amounts and return metabolic wastes. The waste accumulates in large amounts and differ from the original raw materials, thus altering the environment.  

E. Competition

             The phenomenon which involves struggle for existence between two or more individuals growing in same area, that make excessive demand that are similar in nature on the soil is known as competition.

Such struggle may be in between same species or different species. The competition may be interspecific or intraspecific. Because of completion the weak individuals are eliminated as strong ones are retained.

Blood does not enter or leave the ventricles during the period called
babymother [125]
That would be D. Isovolumic contraction

As the name states during ISOvolumic contraction the volume of the ventricles doesn’t change and stays the same so no blood enters or leaves the ventricles. The thing that changes is the pressure of the ventricles that increases.

I can explain the process more if u want in the comments:)
