Sedimentary rocks do not undergo heating it’s metamorphic rocks that do.

Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are those rocks that are formed when sediments undergo compaction and lithification process. For an example of sedimentary rocks are shale, sandstone, limestone, and mudstone.

Initially, the rocks are subjected to weathering due to the various factors under certain climatic conditions. The weathered particles (sediments) are then carried by the agents such as wind, water, and ice and are transported to some other place. These sediments are then deposited and after undergoing significant compaction and cementation, it forms sedimentary rocks. This is the steps involved in the formation of sedimentary rock.

Temperature is not related to the sedimentary rock formation. If it is subjected to temperature and pressure changes, then it will lead to the formation of metamorphic rock.

Thus, step 2 is not correct.

Hence, the correct answer is option (2).

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Anterior end

Explanation:

You have a pretty good shot at guessing this, because the earthworm has very little going on at the posterior end except the anus. And you probably saw this in lab, too.

I've attached a picture of the earthworm anatomy. Worms can't smell in the strictest sense, but they can use their receptors as kind of a combo smell-taste thing, and those are located in the anterior end.

Why have we not drilled or mined deeper into earth?

Rus_ich [418]

Easy answer: its too hot.

The deepest man made hole is Kola Superdeep Borehole. That was a Russian experiment to see how deep you could drill into earths crust, reaching down 12,262 meters. At that depth the temperature reached 180 °C. The scientists estimated that a 15,000 meters depth the temperature would reach 300 °C, and at that temperature the drill would cease to work and the project was stopped.

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Any of the answers are correct. This question is completely opinionated (I chose no).

[If you limit your interpretation of the biological species concept to only what happens in nature, lions and tigers are separate species. In contrast, if you consider what is possible with human intervention, you could argue that lions and tigers are not separate species since they can be crossed to form fertile ligers.

The biological species concept is one of over 20 different species concepts that attempt to put nature into human-constructed categories. Most biologists would agree that the challenge of defining species has still not been elegantly solved.]

Can someone explain what a medium is in science I don’t understand please help

timofeeve [1]

The "medium" is the substance or material that carries a mechanical wave. One of the most important things to remember about waves is that they transport energy, not matter. This makes them different from other phenomenon in physics.
