Answer: The primary cause of monsoons is the difference between annual temperature trends over land and sea.
Explanation:
Answer:The phase of moon when between new moon and half moon is crescent and more than half and less than full is gibbous. Thus, during waxing gibbous and waning gibbous, the phase of the moon would be more than half of moon's surface.
Explanation:Waxing gibbous
The sun appears to cross the plane of Earth's equator
when it reaches either one of the "equinox" points in the sky.
At those times, the lengths of day and night are nominally equal
everywhere (except at the poles), and the occasions are marked
as the beginning of Spring and Autumn.
Answer:
Whereas clastic sedimentary rocks are dominated by components that have been transported as solid clasts (clay, silt, sand, etc.), chemical sedimentary rocks are dominated by components that have been transported as ions in solution
Explanation:
(Na+, Ca2+, HCO3–, etc.).
Answer:
B. Cementation and compaction
Explanation:
Sediments compact under pressure, then they lose fluids, these fluids cement together and eventually becomes solid rock, this process is known as lithification.
Cementation is when fluids from the loose rocks bind themselves together. If the loosely bound rocks are inorganic, they form and turn to clastic rocks but if it contains organic matter, it is known as bioclastic.
In essence, this destructive phase of sedimentary rock formation is known as cementation and compaction.
