We can explain this in a molecular level. We know that the difference between a gas and a liquid of the same composition is how fast their molecules are moving. So given a gas, their molecules are farther and faster when moving, but when they are cooled their bulk kinetic energy decreases. In other words their molecules start to move closer and move slower until it behaves more like a liquid molecule. This is the time when gases condense

Mercury is often released into water bodies with industrial effluents, where it is then converted to the compound form methylmer

sergeinik [125]

This is more to do with Bioaccumulation of mercury, where the mercury is absorbed into the issue of animals, and so animals higher in the food chain consume a lot of tissue matter hence increasing mercury content in their system.

Over a long period of time, an igneous rock changes into a sedimentary rock. Which of these actions must have affected the igneo

Alla [95]

Answer: The actions that must have affected the igneous rock in order to form the sedimentary rock is that (It must have been broken down into sediments).

Explanation:

Rocks are solid structures that occurs naturally which is made up of different minerals. There are three main types of rocks, these includes:

--> METAMORPHIC ROCKS: These are the type of rocks which are formed by temperature and pressure changes inside the Earth.

--> SEDIMENTARY ROCKS: these rocks are usually formed from pre-existing rocks through the process of weathering (breaking down) of rocks.

--> IGNEOUS ROCKS: these rocks are formed when molten magma cools beneath or above the earth surface.

The actions that must have affected the igneous rock in order to form the sedimentary rock is that the igneous rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by erosion and weathering processes. Sediments which are formed accumulates at the earth surface. Over a long period of time, these sediments builds successive layers on top of one another. The sediments near the base hardens to form sedimentary rocks. This justifies the statement as a correct option (It must have been broken down into sediments).
