Geography
1 answer:
Sloan [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Sedimentary rocks are the rocks that are formed as a result of compaction and lithification of sediments. These are directly obtained from the sediments of the pre-existing rock. These sediments after weathering of the rocks are transported from one place to another with the help of agents such as wind, water, and ice. These sediments are then deposited at a different place. Then, it finally turns into sedimentary rocks. For example, Shale, Sandstone and Limestone.

The common minerals that are found to be present in the sedimentary rocks are feldspar, clay minerals, and mica. The sediments such as quartz and clay minerals are derived by chemical weathering of rocks that act as a cementing material holding the sediments together. These sedimentary rock-forming minerals are abundant on the earth's surface and are comparatively much stable. So, with time, they undergo compaction and solidification and forms sedimentary rocks.

I can't see the picture, but to do the dilation you must first figure out the coordinates of the first image and then figure out what half of it is and add that on to the new image or take that much off of the new image.

*To dilate means to make bigger or smaller
