Biology
1 answer:
Grace [21]3 years ago

<span>Lithification is the process by which sediment turns into hardened rock. There are three ways in which lithification can occur. These processes are called compaction, recrystallization and cementation

so sediments (sand) are buried the increase in pressure from the weight of the overlaying material pushes the grains closer together. the volume of sediment is reduced and the fluids between the grains are also squeezed out. this leaves the sandstone tightly compressed together this is lithification.

Which characteristic do protozoans Foraminiferans (Phylum Sarcodines) and coccolithophores (Phylum Haptophyta) have in common?
shtirl [24]

The common characteristic of those two organisms is hard spherical shells (exoskeleton).

Foraminiferans are single cell marine eukaryotes divided into granular endoplasm and transparent ectoplasm. Foraminiferans are enveloped with tests, hard shells, usually composed of calcium carbonate (sometimes from organic compounds or silica).

Coccolithophore is a unicellular, eukaryotic alga with special calcium carbonate plates (or scales) of uncertain function (coccoliths). Each unicellular alga is enclosed in its own collection of coccoliths, the which make up its exoskeleton- coccosphere.

Greenhouse gases absorb radiation from the and re-radiate it back toward the
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Greenhouse gases absorb radiation from the EARTH and reradiate back toward the EARTHwhich help to maintain a normal temperature range in the Earth.

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases are gases that are capable to of absorbing infrared radiations that are emitted from the Earth's surface and reradiating back to the Earth which contributed to the greenhouse effects. Examples of greenhouse gases are carbondioxide, methane and water vapour. Others are ozones, flourinated gases, nitrous oxides e.t.c.

The green house gases has lead to climate changes in the Earth by trapping heat, the contribute to respiratory diseases by smog and air pollution. Greenhouse gases concentrations are high during warm seasons and low during cold seasons.
