<u>Answer:</u>

A layer of sedimentary rock lies next to a layer of igneous rock. If inclusions from the igneous layer are scattered in the sedimentary layer, then the layer of sedimentary rock is <u>richer in minerals</u> than the igneous layer.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The igneous rocks are a good source of minerals like pyroxene, mica, amphibole, olivine, etc.
  • Some common minerals like quartz, feldspar and muscovite are found in both igneous and sedimentary rocks.
  • But the major clay minerals like calcite, gypsum, dolomite and halite are only found in the sedimentary rocks.
  • Thus, scattering inclusions from the igneous layers over the sedimentary layer would make the sedimentary layer richer in minerals

Younger as the sedimentary rock was likely deposited on top of the igneous rock and the scattered pieces are parts of the igneous rock that had been eroded prior to deposition and lithification of the sedimentary rock

How much do you agree with the following statement?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
I'd say I agree with this statement. In a certain area, climate change can affect everyone equally. The definition for climate change is: a change in global or regional climate patterns, especially since the 20th century with the recent increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Since this happening, everywhere in the world is affected by the increasing and rising temperature. Crops may not grow as well, cattle and game may not thrive as much, etc.

Climate change takes an effect in different countries. The change in climate can affect the way people live their lives. For example, in the Artitic, animals are endangered and going extinct from the rising temperatures. People who live on the coast may have to live their homes because the water level is steadily rising. Animals used to colder weather may become endangered in places like Canada, Russia, etc. Climate change affects many places. 

I hope this helped you!

Reika [66]

Answer:

While coastal erosion affects all regions of the United States, erosion rates and potential impacts are highly localized. Average coastline recession rates of 25 feet per year are not uncommon on some barrier islands in the Southeast, and rates of 50 feet per year have occurred along the Great Lakes
