The correct answer is - intrusive rocks.

The intrusion is a process in which the rising magma in the Earth's crust, manages to break through pre-existing layers of rock, and after that cool off, solidify, and create new intrusive igneous rocks. By doing so, the magma is breaking up the layers of rocks, thus the intrusive igneous rocks that are forming from it, come to be inside totally different rock units. The intrusions are always happening inside the crust, and the rocks formed from them are igneous rocks that have large crystals because of the slow cooling off of the magma.

The compound CO2 is made of
Juliette [100K]

Explanation:

The compound CO_{2} is also known as carbon dioxide. It is a gas. It forms when one carbon atom combines with two oxygen atoms.

This can be illustrated as follows.

            C(s) + \frac{1}{2}O_{2}(g) \rightarrow CO(g)

            CO(g) + \frac{1}{2}O_{2}(g) \rightarrow CO_{2}

Consumption of carbon dioxide gas in very low concentrations is not harmful but consumption of its large concentration is very harmful as it can affect the respiratory system.

What is the difference between a renewable and nonrenewable resource
ioda

Answer:

Answer in explanation

Explanation:

A renewable source of energy is an energy source that cannot be depleted. It is an energy source with constant abundance and hence it is always in abundance. What we are saying is that they are energy sources that cannot be used up. Although it might sometimes be that it is unavailable at some instances, this does not take away the fact that it is abundant and cannot be depleted, although the strength at different times may vary. Example of renewable energy sources include solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectric power source etc. These sources are never depleted and are in abundance.

Non renewable source of energy are those sources of energy that can be depleted. A good example of this can be seen in fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are usually burned to produce energy. They are used up in the process and it will require an additional amount of fossil fuel to be restocked for the energy to be continually supplied.
