Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • Sedimentary rocks that are formed due to the accumulation of sediments that are derived from the deposition of small particles and their cementation of minerals and organic particles in the seafloor by the impact of various geological and earth processes like the wind, water, and glacier erosion.  
  • Earth's crust is covered by 73% of sedimentary rocks and about 8% of the total crustal surface. Based on their formation, these rocks are thus classified as  Siliciclastic, Carbonate, Evaporite, Iron-rich, and Phosphatic sedimentary rocks.
  • The color of these rocks is always determined by the iron and oxide contents, their size texture is a result of the density and permeability of the rocks like in the case of sandstone and limestone.
  • The relationship between the plate tectonics and the earthquakes is explained through the seismic waves that travel; through the three-layer of the earth from core to mantle to crust.
  • Earthquakes are directly related to plate boundaries as these are areas where these waves come out in the form of shocks and shaking of lands thus we expect of seeing three types of boundaries as  Convergent, Divergent and Transform.

What is known as comet ?
sveticcg [70]

Comets are cosmic snowballs of frozen gases, rock and dirt that orbit the Sun. once frozen, they're the dimensions of a small city. when a comet's orbit brings it about to the Sun, it heats up and spews dirt and gases into an enormous glowing head larger than most planets.
