The igneous rocks are the basic material for the formation of the two other rocks types, the sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. These rocks are the first that form. They form from the magma that has cooled inside the crust, or by the lava flows on the surface. Over time, the weathering and erosion start to break them apart little by little, creating sediments from them. These sediments are the founding block for the formation of the sedimentary rocks. Once these sediments are exposed to certain temperatures and pressures they start to become compact again, which is made possible through the cementation process that keeps them together. As more and more sediments are merged together, the sedimentary rocks are formed, and they can come in multiple different types, sizes, shapes, as well as compositions, and structures.
Physical features are things like the environment, land-forms, and coasts.
Human features are thing like government, language, and culture.

Answer:
The K-T extinction event is the global mass extinction that has taken place about some 65 million years back due to the asteroidal impact. This mass extinction event has wiped almost 75% of the plants and animal species from the earth's surface. The dinosaurs were extinct and very animal species have survived and undergone evolution in due course of time.|
The Cenozoic era started after the K-T mass extinction event, i.e from about 65 million years to the present.
Thus, the Cenozoic era is also known as the age of mammals because mammal were more abundant and diverse then. Many flowering plants evolved during this time and the earth experienced global cooling.
Answer:
Subduction happens in Location A but not in Location B.
Explanation:
In the two descriptions, we have two different types of plate boundaries. At location A, where the plates collide, and one moves over the other while the other is pushed downward, we have a convergent plate boundary. At location B, where the plates slide past each other, we have a transform plate boundary.
- At location A, a subduction zone will occur. The subduction zone will appear at the point where the two plates collide, and if it is in the ocean, there will be a trench, if it is on land, a mountain chain will be forming.
- At location B, there will not be a subduction zone, instead, there will be a fault. A fault will occur because of the sliding past each other of the plates, as they create big pressure between each other, so at the boundary itself, there will be cracks in the crust where the crust is under immense pressure and it often results in earthquakes.
