Answer:

Sandstone takes many thousands of years to form.

Explanation:

A renewable resources are resources that can be replenished within a period of human life. Renewable resources like wind and water can be replaced almost immediately after usage.

A non renewable resources are resources that cannot be replenished within a human lifetime. This resources takes roughly thousands or millions of years to form. Example of these resource includes sandstone, Limestone and Shale.

Sandstone is a Clastic sedimentary rocks formed from sediments degradation, cementation and compaction . The rocks are mainly composed of sand size mineral particles. The sediments that form this rocks are produced due to weathering and erosional  degradation of rock particles.

Generally, the process of sandstone formation takes thousands or millions of years to form. Sandstone formation passes through the stage of weathering of preexisting rocks, transport of the weathered materials, deposition , compaction and finally cementation to form sandstone. All this stages usually take thousand or million of years.

The glucose-making part of photosynthesis takes place in the.
romanna [79]

Answer:

The glucose making part of photosynthesis takes place in the stroma

explanation:

Stroma is the colorless liquid that surrounds the grana in the chloroplast inside plant cells. The stroma contains grana, and stacks of thylakoids in which photosynthesis is started before the chemical changes are completed in the stroma itself. The stroma functions by synthesizing organic molecules from water and carbon dioxide. In the stroma, an enzyme removes the carbon from carbon dioxide, and then combines it with hydrogen and oxygen and to form a simple carbohydrate molecule (glucose).
