Explanation:

Recrystallization: contact pressure causing grains to "fuse" together

Cementation : precipitation of bonding agents between grains

Compaction : increase in density due to weight of overburden

Lithification is the process by which sediments are converted into sedimentary rocks. During this process, recrystallication, compaction and cementation of mineral grains occur.

The process starts with the compaction of sediments. The over burden weight of new sediments in the basin adds to the one originally deposited. This compresses the sediment. The volume of reduced and the density increases.

Recrystallization follows suit as the contact pressure of grains makes them fuse together. It is more like reworking of sediments. In this process, cementing materials can precipitate and cause sediments to be more fused together.

This is why most sediment are made up of clasts in a matrix of cementing materials.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The speed of a synchronous motor in relation to its frequency can be represented with the formula:

$n_{sm}= \dfrac{120f_{se}}{P}$

where,

the electrical frequency $f_{se}$ is measured in Hz

the number of poles = P

For us to estimate the number of poles to have 50 Hz - 60 Hz Power, then we need to relate the frequencies of the above equation.

i.e

$\dfrac{120(50 \ Hz)}{P_1}= \dfrac{120( 60 \Hz)}{P_2} \\ \\ \dfrac{6000 \ Hz}{P_1}= \dfrac{7200 \ Hz}{P_2} \\ \\ \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}=\dfrac{7200}{6000} \\ \\ \\ \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}= \dfrac{12}{10}$

Thus, we can conclude that 10 poles synchronous motor is attached with 12 poles synchronous generator in order to convert 50 Hz to 60 Hz power.

B. Helium because it is constantly being made in the sun

Explanation:

From the given paragraph, we can conclude that helium is the most common element in a star such as the sun because it is constantly being made.

In the nuclear fusion process that results in the production of helium, hydrogen nuclei are the reactants and helium is the product.

since the reactants are constantly being used in the core of the sun, this suggests that the products must be more.
The reaction requires a high temperature and pressure to initiate.
It is a series of chain reaction that uses a fuel of hydrogen to produce helium.
