Answer:

b) Coal

Explanation:

The rock from the presented list that is composed of non-mineral matter is the coal. This rock is actually composed of organic matter.

The coal is a sedimentary rock. Its basis is organic matter as mentioned. The organic matter has been provided by the trees that have died off, especially the ones from the Permian period.

When the trees died off, they were covered by natural materials that isolated them from the outside influences that would decompose them. Instead, they have been gradually buried deeper into the ground, being exposed to higher temperatures and pressure, which gradually, over the course of millions of years turned the organic matter and the chemicals with which it interacted into sedimentary rock, the coal.

The coal has been the main energy source for the industry, and it was extremely important for the technological advancement in the past few centuries.

What is one weather or climate condition that might affect the level of your water table underground?
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

A prolonged drought with very high temperatures can affect the water levels of the water table underground.

Explanation:

The water that is located underground is generally safer when it comes to climate or weather conditions, at least in the shorter run. They are not immune though, as even though they are underground, they are not very deep, and also their levels depend on the outside conditions. Several climate or weather conditions can have an effect on the water table of the underground water, but the one that sticks out the most is a prolonged drought with high temperatures.

A prolonged period of drought will mean that there will be no precipitation for a long period of time. Without precipitation, there will be no new water coming in the undergroung water table. On the other hand, high temperatures will result in intense heating up of the ground, and some of the heat will be reaching the water table underground, so the evaporation will increase. With no water coming in and increased evaporation, the levels of water will drop.
