 Best Answer

Sediments can be deposited by wind or water but water moves most. 
Loess is wind deposited particles. Alluvium is water deposited soil. 
The particles are one part but the place they settle impacts how they become rock because the geologic process will be different at the bottom of a deep marine sea than it is in a shallow off shore shelf. 

Only the very smallest particles will be moved to mid-ocean but there will be many plankton and other organic deposits. 

Coastal particles will vary in sizes . Water temperature will have more impact on the organic contributions here. Shallow tropical waters have coral and can form limestone.

The genetic analysis of Neanderthal bones indicates they
ikadub [295]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

<em>Homo neanderthelensis</em> or Neanderthals are the close relatives of the <em>Homo sapiens</em> or modern humans which became extinct around 10,000 years ago.

The Neanderthals and sapiens are the two related species of the same genus Homo but they showed distinct features like Neanderthals were muscular and shorter in height compared to the <em>Homo sapiens</em>. Recent fossils indicated that Neanderthals and<em> Homo sapiens</em> interbreed in some parts of the world as they were closely related to each other.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

How can a material at a certain temperature have all of its molecules at the same energy?
pychu [463]

Answer:

The average kinetic energy of the molecules is proportional to absolute temperature. At any given temperature, the molecules of all gases have the same average kinetic energy.

Explanation:

When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. Solids, liquids and gases all expand when heat is added.
