Answer:

The correct answer is option C. rocks that form from materials that existed in older rocks.

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are small pieces of<u> older rocks </u>(such as igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary)<u> in conjunction with organic remains. </u>

Once they erode, these rocks move across rivers and oceans. While they do, they accumulate sediments that are compressed and heated.

<u>The high temperatures and pressures</u> finally lithify the loose sediment in a sedimentary rock.

ANSWER:

C. Rocks that form from materials that existed in older rocks.

This is as sedimentary rocks are formed as the result of the weathering of pre-existing rocks. These rocks are older in age.

Therefore, as Option C is the best definition of this out of the options, it is the correcr answer.

Describe the diffrence between a closed circuit and an open circuit
kari74 [83]

Answer:

An open circuit is one where the continuity has been broken by an interruption in the path for current to flow. A closed circuit is one that is complete, with good continuity throughout.

Explanation:

For instance, a simple light switch opens and closes the circuit that connects a light to a power source. When you build a circuit, it's a good idea to disconnect the battery or other power source when the circuit is not in use.

Sedimentary rocks formed through the accumulation of organic carbon (dead plant matter) in low-oxygen environments (like swamps)
valina [46]

Biochemical sedimentary rocks are sedimentary rocks created by the buildup of organic carbon (dead plant debris) in low-oxygen conditions (such as swamps).

When organisms utilize elements dissolved in air or water to develop their tissue, biochemical sedimentary rocks form. The calcareous skeletons of creatures such as corals, mollusks, and foraminifera are used to make most varieties of limestone.

Shells and bodies of submerged creatures are used to build biochemical sedimentary rocks. Chemical components from the water are extracted by living creatures and used to form shells and other body parts. Aragonite, a mineral related to and usually replaced by calcite, and silica are among the constituents.
