Answer: Sedimentary rocks make up 75 percent of the rocks at the earth's surface but only 5 percent of the outer 10 miles of the earth. Sediment, as distinguished from sedimentary rock, is a collective name for loose, solid particles and is generally derived from weathering and erosion of preexisting rock.

Answer:

5% and 75%

<u>Explanation:</u>

The outermost 10 kilometers of rock according to geographers has about 5% of sedimentary rocks.

The continental area of the Earth represents the Earth surface and the total land area of all continents is about 148,647,000 square kilometres.

Geographers also discovered that sedimentary rocks make up 75% of the rocks at the entire earth's surface not focusing on the outermost 10 kilometers of the Earth surface.

Where did the original atmospheric oxygen come from
faust18 [17]

The correct answer is - cyanobacteria.

The atmospheric oxygen came from the cyanobacteria. These were one of the earliest living organisms on Earth. The cyanobacteria was using photosynthesis in order to create its own food. The photosynthesis process requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, and oxygen. The oxygen is mostly released as a waste product from the process of photosynthesis, thus the cyanobacteria were literally releasing oxygen that was ending up into the atmosphere. As more and more cyanobacteria there were across the planet, more and more oxygen they were releasing into the atmosphere, slowly changing the composition of the atmosphere, and setting the basis of it as we know it now.

Are there going to be glaciers in the future please answer asap​
antiseptic1488 [7]
There won’t be most likely. Many glaciers are already melting at a fast pace already. They aren’t being formed either just melting. They’re shrinking significantly and will probably be gone soon because of climate change. Even glaciers that have been around for millions of years a melting away. :(

I don’t understand how you do f and g
sveticcg [70]

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

144 degrees

27 degrees

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

f) So angle EBD is angle 5, which is 36 degrees. Angle DBC is angle 1 and is 108 degrees. We need to find angle EBC or 5 + 1.

So we know that EBC is angle 5 + 1, we can do angle 5 plus angle 1 or:

36 degrees + 108 degrees = 144 degrees.

Angle EBC is 144 degrees.

g) So we know angle EBF or angle 4 + 3 is 117 degrees. We need to find angle ABE or angle 4. We know that angle 3 is 90 degrees because of BF is perpendicular to AC. So now we can find angle ABE or 4:

117 degrees minus 90 degrees = 27 degrees

Angle ABE is 27 degrees.
