Answer:

B. texture

Explanation:

The large crystals in the rock will be very useful for describing the texture of the rock.

Depending on the rock type, this large, well formed crystals can take different names and can help a geologist make some assumptions about the pressure and temperature condition the rock was formed.

Texture refers to the grain size, orientation, form and shape in a rock.
Color is the hue of a rock and the pigment it contains.
Hardness is the resistant of minerals to breakage.
Layering is the concentration of minerals in a rock mass from one unit to another.
Layering often lead to banding and foliations in rocks.

The fitting option is texture.

What are the possible impacts on the limiting factors that determine population size of an extended period of lower than normal

hammer [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

The population's resource supply will be directly affected. The amount of water available will be less than usual, which will in turn affect the food supply of different animals. This will likely cause the birth rate to decrease and the death rate to increase, which will reduce the population size.

How does altitude impact atmospheric pressure? As altitude decreases, atmospheric pressure decreases As altitude increases, atmo

Tasya [4]

Answer: As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure $P$ is defined as the force $F$ per unit area $S$ the air that forms the atmosphere exerts on the Earth's surface:

$P=\frac{F}{S}$

It should be noted that as the altitude increases less air is above and, therefore the air weights less. This is because the atmosphere losses density as we ascend, causing less air.

However, it is important to point out this decrease in pressure is not linear, since at the beginning (in the first kilometers above sea level) it reduces more rapidly than in the next kilometers above. That is why this relationship between atmospheric pressure and altitude is exponential.
