is a clastic sedimentary rock. A clastic sedimentary rock is composed of silicate
minerals and rock fragments. They are transported by moving fluids such as
sedimentation due to gravity and are deposited in the area where it stays. They
are composed mostly of feldspar, quartz, rock (lithic) fragments, clay minerals
and mica.</span>
Answer:The pressure of Mercury = 588,600Pa
Explanation:
The pressure of Mercury is given as
p=h x ρ x g
Where h =height= 20 dm
changing to meters
10 decimeters (dm) =1 meter
20dm =2 meter, 2m
ρ is the density =30000-kg/m³
g , gravity = 9.81-m/s²
Pressure = 2.0m x 30000-kg/m³ x 9.81-m/s²
588,600 kg.m/ s²/m² =588,600 N/m²
The pressure of Mercury=588,600Pa
Metamorphic rock forms as a result of heat and pressure.
A. heat and pressure.
Hi,
Scientists have used rock samples to date the Earth's past. They also might use Steno's principles.
Relative dating is the determination of the age of a rock or geological event by comparing with other rock/ geologic events. Absolute dating is a form of geologic dating that gives an actual date or age in history that the item was formed or died in years.
Steno's principles are:
Law of superposition - Bottom layer is the oldest, top layer of the youngest In undisturbed layers of sedimentary rock or magma.
Original horizontally - When sedimentary rock layers form, they are "created in a horizontal form.
The Principle of Lateral Continuity -<span> States that layers of sediment initially extend </span>laterally<span> in all directions.
