Answer;

-Gemstones

Gemstones are nonmetallic minerals that are valued for their beauty and rarity rather than their usefulness.

Explanation;

-Most gemstones form in the Earth's crust; the top layer of the Earth, with a depth of 3 to 25 miles. Only two gemstone varieties, diamond and peridot, form in the Earth's mantle, which represents 80% of the Earth's volume.

-A few gemstones form in the mantle, but all gems are mined in the crust. A precious gemstone has beauty, durability, and rarity, whereas a semiprecious gemstone has only one or two of these qualities.

Upon observing a golden eagle flying overhead, a prairie dog on guard duty gives a warning call to other members of the prairie
Agata [3.3K]
The form of animal behavior that this prairie dog on guard duty exhibits is altruistic behavior.
This means that the dog isn't only thinking about itself, but rather about the others as well. Since it escaped danger, it alarmed other dogs as well, so that they could also be safe and not injured by the golden eagle. It seems that not only humans, but also animals are capable of showing such a behavior.
